My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup (codecaptured.com)

Hey y'all, I know getting a setup that feels "right" can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I've resolved.

Where I've landed of course isn't where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

Don't start here. Get something tiny: some ewaste, a rPi3/4 or an n100.

Build a Pihole to block ads, malicious sites and trackers on your network

Risk free, tonnes of learning opportunities, huge utility, tonnes of documentation and guides to help.

Once you've built a couple Piholes (break and rebuild then) you'll have an idea of what you might want to do next and what is achievable for you.
