I want to self host some services for me and my first questions is: Any guide or book, or wtv, you recommend to understand self host world? I want to understand all things about it, but dont know where to start. And the guides for beginners i found on internet are very basic, just seems things like “do that, do this, and go” . I want to fully understand the world of self host. I want to understand firewalls, DyanmicDNS, MeshVPN; How to do self host; what not to do, what precautions, etc, etc. thx

    I’d recommend approaching things as they come. It’d be rather difficult for anyone to provide you with an exhaustive list of everything that you’d ever need to know. Find something that you want to host, and ask questions about it when they come to you.

    That being said, if you want a comprehensive resource on the subject then material for sysadmins would likely be a good place to start, as the practice of “self-hosting” is effectively just scaling down the work of a sysadmin.
