This is a beginner-friendly introduction to self-hosting and homelabbing.
Self-Hosting is all about running services like a file storage, media server, calendar and game servers at home where you are in control of your data. Free of any companies where you don't know when they might fail.

This course gives you an introduction by answering the questions

• What is self-hosting and homelabbing
• Why should you care
• What can you actually self-host

We will see how easy it can be to just start running your own services without much technical knowhow. We will also cover some best practices and common pitfalls to avoid when setting up such a system.
I will also talk about my personal journey through this topic.
