How in terms of “how did you do it” i.e. a guide a wiki etc. How to you maintain it? How do you provide security and how do you maintain it? Do you host on bare metal at home? Do you use a cloud service? If the former, how do you connect to it when you aren’t at home?

I realize that’s a lot to ask, but I have some down time and want to hear everyone’s full viewpoints

    I’m anti enshittification & pro digital privacy. A few years back when Evernote started restricting their service & a password manager I’d paid for multiple users for fucked me over it dawned on me that “Big Tech” did not have my best interests at heart. Since that Eureka moment I formed an interest in FOSS & ive not looked back.

    I’m not in IT, 100% self taught. Started with Nextcloud with NGINX. I expose as little as possible, the rest is local only though ive set up Wireguard for external access.

    I self host mostly what everyone else does: Nextcloud, Joplin, Paperless, Immich etc etc. Special shoutout to Homebox which ive found extremely useful when boxing up & organising our roof space & garage. I like to use Docker containers.

    Its become a bit of a hobby & the path led me to the Fediverse. The next step is likely switching fully to Linux
