    I think you should just choose whatever software or project you want to selfhost, read how to do it, and learn by doing.

    I’m a complete idiot but I learned how to self host from trying to set up a Jellyfin server on my Windows desktop. Now I host game servers, Matrix with bridges, Discord bots, and this Lemmy instance that I’m in. I (re)learned how to use Linux and fell in love with it too.

    It’s all about reading the manual I guess.
