If you don't currently #SelfHost, but are interested in the idea, I'm curious to hear what's kept you from doing it?
If you *are* currently #selfhosting, what would have made it easier for you to get started?
Personally, I do, however I was surprised at how many common technical problems weren't automatically taken care of automatically. Most took a lot of research, experimentation and community support, even for someone like me who is pretty tech savvy and enjoys tinkering with computers.
I am self-hosting several projects on a simple server install which has accreted a ton of cruft over years and needs to be taken apart and rebuilt. The time and effort has me procrastinating.
What I want is an easy/tiny/fast proxy server, and then a separate box(es) with the hosted service(s), with panels including maintenance.
And to get there I would like a library of layman articles to explain the steps, which I would be happy to help write.
