I want to self host without vps/cdn/cloudflare. So much information today, am I over thinking this?

https://github.com/mikeroyal/Self-Hosting-Guide

Have a guide or words of wisdom?
Docker swarm instead of kubernates?
Docker compose?
Microceph/ cephFS?
Pgtune?
Docker+Nginx?
CrowdSec?
DenyHosts?
fail2ban?
OPNsense?
pfSense?
LibreTranslate?

@rusty__shackleford What do you want to self host at first?

@jean_dupont
I've done a home media server, now I'd like to host a local mastodon or pleroma server, been wrapping my head around how it all works

I think I need to host RTMP & spin up my own ACME server pointing my cert to this registrar?

Was planning on .is TLD from orangeWebsite is why

They're isnic not icann, seemed good & don't have to give a credit card (they offer a cryptowallet option), it seems they respect privacy? Not sure who to use

Trying to learn quick & sift through everything

@rusty__shackleford Docker this, docker that... you don't really need Docker for anything. Or containers. Or VMs. Running everything on metal is grand!
