Hello everyone!

First off, let me say I’ve been fantasizing about self-hosting SOMETHING because of how many things I see in this sub.

That being said, i have no clue where to start.

I am planning on revamping my local setup at home to accommodate a lot more things. Right now, it’s just a mac mini, a windows laptop, and a monitor. I have about 3 external drives to fulfill my ever-growing need of storage, and thought of starting off with a storage server setup, that I can access over the internet.

Anyways, what other things would you recommend to setup? I am in desperate need of a hobby project, and feel like this will be the perfect one that will help me learn a thing or two as well!

Thanks in advance 😁
