Is there a good resource for this?

I learned it from trying an error, look for Docker documentation and you can start self hosting something like NextCloud or Jellyfin. Any software which have a Docker image can work for you to learn. You can use "AI" like Bing if you have any doubt too

This course might be an overkill for a home server, but here's my recommendation: https://www.udemy.com/course/docker-kubernetes-the-practical-guide/?couponCode=ST15MT31224 - it covers stuff from basic manually typed commands to kubernetes and aws.

Kubernetes is more than overkill for home use. I would say there's no point in ever touching it if you're only in self hosting as a hobby.

I use it for my home services but that's because I also use it at work and understand it well. It is absolutely not something that a beginner should touch, especially if "docker" is a new term to them.
