I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

Yes, but you don't need Kubernetes from the start.

    Well I guess podman works fine for the first few months. Interestingly I still use build-ah heavily for building my custom images

    I find a lot of stuff is using docker compose, which works with Podman, but using straight docker is easier, especially if it's nothing web-facing

    Funnily enough Docker compose has never worked for me on Podman. There always seems to be something that is incompatible (also due to me running on Debian). However, I feel like it should become a standard amongst homelabbers and professionals to use Kubernetes manifests going forward, since it is the most portable.
