I recently became interessted in learning about static site generators. So I decided to start a little 11ty blog, in which I teach people, who are new to self-hosting, how to securely set up their own server with Ubuntu and Docker.

For now, I’ve got my Beginners Guide series as well as a more detailed introduction to SSH and its features. I plan to eventually write down all I’ve learned about self-hosting in the past 20 years.

Hope it ends up being helpful for some of you.

    I think you are conflating desktop Ubuntu with Ubuntu Server. On a server, you absolutly want a stable, long supported LTS version.

    I’ve been hosting on Ubuntu Server for over 10 years now, and at no point were any packages required to keep it up to date and running outdated.

        You mean from one LTS to the next? It’s been a while, but as far as I remember, it worked fine on my last server (22.04 to 24.04).

        And even if something doesn’t work, I can have all my stuff spun up on a new server in less than an hour. But that, of course, depends on the amount of data you host.
