I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

    1. Control and privacy. The server does exactly what I choose, not somebody’s business model.
    2. Once you have other users, it’s not a hobby anymore. People are not amused by downtime.
    3. The w3schools.com tutorials have been good for me.
