Let's Tour My Home Server!
Thanks for checking out this tour of my current home server! It isn’t perfect, but it has been working great for me for well over a year now. Details below. If you are thinking about giving self-hosting a try, you absolutely should. I know it can be intimidating at first, but it isn’t as complicated as you think.
