Well teach me the way to self host on the cheap?
Id be happy to, what kind of services are you wanting to run and whats your home internet setup?
I can message here on lemmy but it might be easier if you want to contact me directly through chat, my contact info can be found here: https://gravitywell.xyz/#contact
Oh nothing special just want to store my music, videos, and games, along with documents and have access to them from anywhere. I have gig a blast with Cox, and I also wouldn't mind hosting my own websites. Instead of paying for hosting to Siteground.com that can't even allow me to use Javascript in my code without costing hundreds of dollars a month.
Hosting A basic website (with javascript) is a great place to start.
I mainly use docker for everything and you can get a simple http server docker point it at a folder containing your html files and now you have your own selfhosted website.
Use something like duckdns.org for a domain and dyndns to update the ip address to point to your home ip and have your router forward the http port, now your website can be accessed from outside the home network too.
Once you get a basic website working, its easy to keep going and try adding new services. I use dockge to manage all my docker services now but when i first got started i found dockstarter to be very easy to use, kind of like training wheels for docker until you feel comfortable enough to edit compose files directly.
I currently pay $8/month for a basic VPS which i use because i have a lot of public services but if you are just managing your own stuff or another user or 2 you dont even need that really.
For document storage id go with Nextcloud. If you want to also have dedicated music streaming i really like mStream for its simplicty but theres also a number of other services that support the subsonic protocol which has a lot of good clients to choose from for playback.
Thanks I try that out.
