I love self-hosting software. Next to this Lemmy server, I host 10 other Fediverse servers. And of course a lot of tools I use for myself or work.
You’re the admin of Lemmy.World? Thanks for hosting this place. What got you into self-hosting?
You’re welcome… I’ve been using computers for around 40 years now, and love trying out new software. That evolved in trying out self-hosted software… even into self-hosting nearly everything. I’m reverting some of that at the moment, don’t want to self-host family stuff anymore because of continuity, but the rest I keep installing and trying everyting… :-)
I pay for a hosting plan for my email for that reason. I should find a cheaper email centric option but SURELY I’ll do something with those 2 other domain slots I paid for…one day >.>
I’m not sure I’m a true self-hoster as I only host a Plex server, but happy to be here reading about the cool stuff other people do!
In case you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend Jellyfin as an alternative to Plex.
Won’t be long before you discover sonarr, radarr, overseerr, prowlarr etc and realise you need docker containers and maybe proxmox and it just goes on.
It’s great fun to tinker, come back in a couple of months and tell us what you’ve set up.
Thanks for setting this up for those of us leaving Reddit! Looking to be able to contribute.
