I'm interested in getting into self-hosting but don't know where to start. What areas do you need first? Data storage, media server, web applications? If resources are limited, lightweight methods can be preferred. Are you thinking of using Docker or installing directly on the system? How is reverse proxy and SSL certificate managed for security? Can you share community recommendations and best practices?
How do I get started with self-hosting?

Absolutely, that was the most confusing part for me when I started with self-hosting too. When I set up my NAS, I initially tried DenyHosts just for file storage, then switched to file synchronization with Syncthing. Using Docker took a bit of getting used to, but I got a simple blog running locally with a lighttpd + SQLite combo.
