Hey selfhosters.
I have a question about starting self hosting; I have run Jellyfin on an old MacBook for a bit and wanna dip more than a toe into the self host pool. Are there any guides out there you’d recommend for actual, complete beginners who knows nothing but wants to learn?
I’ve searched a lot but it feels like they’re pretty advanced for beginners. Is it just a really sharp learning curve to this, or am I not finding the good ones?
Edit: To clarify what level I’m really, truly at: I run the Jellyfin server on regular macOS and have an external 5TB drive connected via usb. That’s it.
I’m probably going to change hardware in a not-so-distant future, as the macbook is struggling with 2 simultaneous 1080p streams and is having a meltdown with 4K ones. I’m not using Docker, which seems to be a go-to as well.
From what I’ve gathered with the comments here, learning Linux is the first step.
