Selfhosted

59675 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Never did this before on an encrypted drive. Is this the proper procedure? Obviously a complete image back up is in order, however, are there any gotchas, caveats, pitfalls that I should be aware of before proceeding?

Thank you very much for your patience in trying to tweeze out all the proper info out of me. I feel like a slightly educated dumbass now. LOL Thanks again.

You are aware that you don't have all the information and that trying it yourself could cost you significantly more time than asking for help. Doesn't sound like dumbass behavior to me :)
