Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I've never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it's bit of a stupid question.
One suggestion might be to load a Debian build on it and use it for docker containers. With docker containers you can do so many different things. I have a PI 4 and it does all of the following: PiHole - For blocking ads. (Everyone should have one of these) OpenMediaVault - For NAS Portainers - For loading docker containers Radarr - Downloading Movies Sonarr - Downloading TV Shows Tautulli - Monitors my plex server Overseer - Allows members of my plex share to request content. NZBGET and Real-Debrid Torrent Downloader Clients - For downloading content from usenet or real-debrid.
I have one Pi4 running all of these as docker containers. Have fun!
Let me start by saying I hope you enjoy this stuff. Some of these can be a bit much to setup. I personally love this stuff so for me although it can be challenging it's fun.
