The title says it all. I am going to start self-hosting soon (still waiting for some hardware). Do you have any tips or advice to give me? I am planning on buying a domain name on Porkbun and start hosting

    Document everything. Found a useful link that helped you configure something? Copy the link. Finally got your proxy working right? Save the config. Even just make notes of how you set things up.

    Refine and build you notes along with your knowledge.

    Eventually, consider keeping all your config files in a self-hosted repository like Gitea.

    Oh, and when stuff breaks it’s probably DNS.

      How do you organize your notes? I have text files in a folder and was looking for something better.
