DIY and self-hosting.

if i had the hardware and know-how i would probably run an pubnix so people could host small websites and stuff and maybe an online radio playing music i enjoy

I self host my website and a public file server and I have thought about hosting other services but as of now just my website and file server.

I'm hosting invidio.xamh.de the project is called invidious its an privacy friendly frontend for youtube I'm renting a server at netcup.eu for 30€ which handles around 1milion requests per day. My biggest challenges so far were pretty much to split the server in a public and private part and of course docker being docker.
Currently I run one nginx server as a reverse proxy, but only docker container of  it which is insane I know but it works up too 900 concurrent connections :D

Which I typically don't reach, I normally have 100-200 on weekends it can be more but not much.



If anyone needs help with docker or anything else hit me up I'm more than willing to help

techramancer The i3 might be a little tight for both Plex and game servers. The two cores are a little limiting, but it does have hyperthreading, so that might be enough. Good news is the 4000 series of processors are really cheap, so you could probably get an ebay i5 for next-to-nothing. The first server I ran was a Pentium 4 laptop with 760-ish MB of RAM, as a file/VPN server.

I do this sort of stuff for work as well as for fun and I can give some tips as well as some examples.

I've setup plenty of Docker environments and there are a few ways to deploy containers that I like without having to rely on Kubernetes. Docker-compose, it comes with the docker install and makes it dead simple to create different environments, usually I'll setup a few of these compose yml files, each one with the site I want and whatever other service I need with it. The other option would be Ansible where you can tell your servers what to do and basically automate whatever you're looking to do, beit deploys, stress tests or status/health checks.
