I am somewhat late into the Linux-verse (three years in now) and want to move into self-hosting to do two things:
-
Host my own Jitsi server and sessions. (or any other open source solution)
-
Host my own solution to privately and securely share photographs of my kids and life here with my family abroad.
At some point, I want to host my own little static-website about myself which should “replace” having to give people a LinkedIn account or something.
The thing is, I know nothing about owning domains, etc. I have never done this before. I have been lurking around this forum to learn some of the basics, but would really like a more tailored reply (is possible). I am working in Europe.
-
Which computer should I use? I want to host everything on my computer at home. I don’t want to go the VPS route.
-
Where can I buy an inexpensive domain(s)? I assume I only need one.
-
What other things do I need to consider? My current broadband is IPv4 only.
Tell that to the breaking changes server upgrades. I know something good happened when my app won’t login anymore.
No real hate though. I’m a sponsor of the project. Shits lit.
Im using immich for less than a year and there were few breaking changes. Im updating manually and I think its quite easy to follow their instructions. They also push warning message to clients before breaking change happens. But yeah I know what you mean, it can be annoying if you are auto updating
