I have a Pixel 8.... a PC with Linux Mint. How do I learn to "self host". Mainly for photo storage backup. Where do I start? I know nothing, absolutely nothing

I can confirm that Yunhost is one of the best ways to start learning self-hosting. The only "bad thing" I can say is that sometimes it's so easy that you actually don't learn any thing.

I learned a lot. Definitely a whole lot less than if I had done it "from scratch". But also, I never would have done that. I tried and failed several times.
