I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? We will be very happy if someone who knows can prepare this video and share it with us. Edit:To host my own “lemmy” account

    Have you ever installed Linux and played around with it? If not, that is where you should start. For learning I would choose something like Archlinux, which will require you to get your hands dirty (as a matter of speaking) and look up things so that you learn step by step. It has to most extensive wiki of any distribution. Search youtube for “arch linux install” for some videos that will give you an idea of what is involved.

    Only once you find your way comfortably on Linux, can you think running your own Lemmy.

      Thanks for answer. I didn’t know I needed to learn Linux.
