Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
Like this it does make sense for learning and it can be done locally on a regular PC. No need to even have it running more than 5h/ week.
Only start it when trying something.
There are other more interesting things to learn and setup. Something like a honeypot.
Counterpoint, someone will learn about Debian, ansible, docker, and troubleshooting all of the above.
Personally I’ve run into many bumps along the way, some really dumb and not documented at all. But it was a fun learning experience.
