Dear Fedi friends,

Happy Thursday from rainy northern Italy 🌧️

In case you missed it: I've spent the past two weeks doing all kinds of #selfhosting explorations, as I strive to learn #Docker to move my Ghost site there (it's recommended for Ghost v6 and going forward).

Yesterday I shared a blog post about the peaches (highs) and pits (lows) in #MySoCalledSudoLife adventures.

I'm hoping my mistakes can be useful for fellow newbies 😅

@_elena Love your article. But VPS is really not the same as #selfhosting. Getting your own machine and connecting it to the outside world spares you the kind of aggravation you got from OVH. Also makes you learn networking stuff. Maybe consider that as your next stage? Keep on writing, it makes me not feel alone in my own misadventures. 😎

New blog post: "My so-called sudo life: month 8: peaches & pits" in which I share the highs (peaches) and lows (pits) of my #selfhosting adventures for this month:

Dear sysadmins, trigger warning: this post contains mention of clueless/reckless behavior by a self-hosting newbie. You may shudder in horror 😆​

On the upside, I hope that people who aspire to self-host can learn from my mistakes.

As I wrote in the post: I know very little about self-hosting, but I know more than I did yesterday (and I'm having a lot of fun in the process)
