Hey folks!

I've started up a wiki for the community here, putting it up on Codeberg for easy access, edits, and forking if desired.

Right now you'll see only three pages:

  • Home: A quick landing page and overview, with a link to external resources that matches the sidebar here.
  • Glossary: Overview of terms~~, which I just realized has a few formatting goofs I'll be fixing shortly.~~ Edit: Fixed
  • OS Choices: A review of how to choose your OS for self-hosting, or multiple if thats a better fit for your needs.

There is also a hidden _Sidebar.md, which is visible as a sidebar on the wiki. There you'll see the framework of what I'm setting up, and the links are put in only when the content is there.

A few notes:

  • This is all my brain dump at the moment. I'm trying to keep personal opinions / slant out of it, but some things may still show up. Most likely unintentional, so it can be addressed if you see it.
  • I use Kate for all of my editing, and the preview is.... eh not my favorite, so its absolutely possible for me to notice formatting snafus after a commit. As mentioned above. As always, you can feel free to comment, contribute, correct, etc.
  • Codeberg wiki has a few... specific limitations, notably that everything goes into the same directory. Subdirectories are only for assets, so you may see names have a common theme, like "getting_started_WhateverTheActualPageIs". This is intentional for my sorting purposes to deal with how they handle things.
  • I've seen someone here share their wiki for a user (who I'll be reaching out to), as I'd personally enjoy seeing members of our community featured as a resource. If you have a wiki you'd like to share, please send me a message. If the list gets lengthy, we can turn it into a link to a post called Community Member Knowledge Base or something.
  • The repository above the wiki has things like the rules and sidebar contents, minus a few of the more recent things like the example post. I add there as I have time available, and a bit of a python script for a super basic bot will be there as well (to respond to [AIP] posts without a Disclosure, have to make a few fixes on that before it goes in)

After I get the getting started section complete, I'll add to the sidebar as a resource, but I wanted to put this out there if others wanted to contribute as well.


Edit: Kind of stretching the definition of "code", but I've added the tag since this is kind of a promo item.


Edit: Now with a hardware section - once I add in the writeup for services (at a getting started level) it'll be in the sidebar fulltime. A tomorrow task if I can swing it...
