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.
Bleugh Immich.
I’ve heard great things but I’m quite new to all this and can’t get the fucking thing to boot. Last night I followed their install via Portainer walkthrough to the letter, copy/pasted their files from their links they pointed at…
I’ll have it running by next weekend most likely, this keeps happening, then I learn a bunch of shit. But I really have no idea why it wouldn’t boot last night.
