Hello everyone!

First off, let me say I’ve been fantasizing about self-hosting SOMETHING because of how many things I see in this sub.

That being said, i have no clue where to start.

I am planning on revamping my local setup at home to accommodate a lot more things. Right now, it’s just a mac mini, a windows laptop, and a monitor. I have about 3 external drives to fulfill my ever-growing need of storage, and thought of starting off with a storage server setup, that I can access over the internet.

Anyways, what other things would you recommend to setup? I am in desperate need of a hobby project, and feel like this will be the perfect one that will help me learn a thing or two as well!

Thanks in advance 😁

Proxmox on the host, setup some apps in LXCs and some others inside docker. Pihole, tailscale, maybe home assistant if you have IoT devices

Also a media server with Jellyfin, radarr, sonarr is pretty fun to make and nice to have. Every service on LXCs and with this scripts tteck is damn easy. Also this tutorial is a game changer Unprivileged LXCs you can mount CIFS shares in to the unprivileged LXCs with samba.
