I’m thinking of getting into self-hosting my websites, capsules and gopherholes, and eventually stuff like peertube, owncast and proxys for my older computers. What would be the best place to get started for an absolute beginner and what are some good environmentally conscious options?

Yunohost, Runtipi, CasaOS, Umbrel are prepared for easy self-host. · 3 years ago

If you setup a proxy on a vps somewhere it should be cheap and gets you around the issue of non-fixed IPs for residential customers. Then host your services on a solar + battery system on either a low power laptop or raspberry pi. have your host use a dynamic dns provider and point your proxy at the fqdn used there. That way you can use standard service ports on the proxy but you could for instance host SMTP on port 6969 so its not blocked by your ISP. · 3 years ago
