I have a Pixel 8.... a PC with Linux Mint. How do I learn to "self host". Mainly for photo storage backup. Where do I start? I know nothing, absolutely nothing

I would personally recommend starting with a Pi-hole. It's easy to set up and provides an immediate improvement to your whole internet experience.

Try to follow the official guide or use a Docker container.

    But a great start to get into selfhosting. What's an IP? What is a DNS? How do I connect to via ssh? What's the job of DHCP? Pretty basic stuff, your learning in the process.
