I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

Welcome to the deep rabbit hole :-) how much do you know about how computers work? In general, you're going to need to understand some basic networking and general Linux administration, but if you already have a grasp on that then I'd say you just need to start small (simple service, aim to have a resilience goal with backups and restoration) and other metrics that motivates you. Perhaps you want to learn something new with every service you host? You decide, this is your hobby :-)
