Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Make them an unraid usb and then they can just stick in a spare pc and they should be good to go. Then they can use the gui to download and install docker images. Would be the path of least resistance IMO.
then you can show them how to depmod their nvidia card for passthrough and configure their raid array and enable docker and know which repositories are good and which magic numbers to put in the docker file then how to configure the first run of the servers and hope it all doesn't blow up. It's not that easy for people with no technical experience.
Well I mean if they want a home server they will have to learn something.
Personally I just set my friends and family up with a stremio/torrentio/real-debrid setup. Nothing to host, I just pre-configure Stremio for them. Then they can just login on any device and it's good to go.
