I am somewhat late into the Linux-verse (three years in now) and want to move into self-hosting to do two things:
-
Host my own Jitsi server and sessions. (or any other open source solution)
-
Host my own solution to privately and securely share photographs of my kids and life here with my family abroad.
At some point, I want to host my own little static-website about myself which should “replace” having to give people a LinkedIn account or something.
The thing is, I know nothing about owning domains, etc. I have never done this before. I have been lurking around this forum to learn some of the basics, but would really like a more tailored reply (is possible). I am working in Europe.
-
Which computer should I use? I want to host everything on my computer at home. I don’t want to go the VPS route.
-
Where can I buy an inexpensive domain(s)? I assume I only need one.
-
What other things do I need to consider? My current broadband is IPv4 only.
Immich doesnt feel like beta at all, its amazing, its better than google photos imo. Nextcloud is also great, but nextcloud photos not so much
Tell that to the breaking changes server upgrades. I know something good happened when my app won’t login anymore.
No real hate though. I’m a sponsor of the project. Shits lit.
Im using immich for less than a year and there were few breaking changes. Im updating manually and I think its quite easy to follow their instructions. They also push warning message to clients before breaking change happens. But yeah I know what you mean, it can be annoying if you are auto updating
Totally agree. I run both Immich and Nextcloud. Both are great.
Agree. I run paperlessngx also for documents/ocr.
