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.

    Linux commands and networking, two things I definitely haven’t done a lot of. Didn’t actually consider networking as I’m “just doing it locally”, but as u/atzanteol@sh.itjust.works said, I don’t just wanna run scripts or commands to get it to work and then have no idea what to do when it breaks.
