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.
Truth. A lot of times I will even pose the same questions to multiple AI. It doesn’t guarantee that all three of them aren’t smoking crack, but you get a better 360 view. It’s akin to back when I worked for the man. I created an excel spreadsheet that helped us when estimating jobs. Say you had 50’ of 10"x20" duct, then a 90, a drop for a grill, necked down to 30’ of 12"x12" duct. At the bottom of the spreadsheet it would spit out numbers and prices. Now, that didn’t necessarily mean that the numbers and the prices were accurate in every way to this specific job. There are a lot of variables to consider. You have to understand the output and whether that is truly applicable to the situation at hand.
