You may have noticed a few of my posts here, I am very interested in self-hosting and what advice can you give to a newbie? maybe some literature, video, I don’t know~

    I also like to keep a text editor open and paste everything I’m doing, as I do it, into that window. Clean it up a little, and you’ve got documentation for when you eventually have to change/fix it.

    Smart stuff that is leaving me feeling dumb for not having thought of it myself, shell history is a poor substitute.

      For linux this is as easy as script , ex:
      [user@fedoragaming ~]$ script 20240313InstallingJellyfin.log
      Script started, output log file is ‘20240313InstallingJellyfin.log’.
      [user@fedoragaming ~]$ exit
      exit
      Script done.

      edit: and for Windows I recommend using putty, it can also save sessions to logs.
