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

Get yourself the cheapest n150 box you can, the 4 port versions are good im case you decise to upgade and convert it to a fw later. Get a 4tb 2.5 ssd if you afford it and a chewp dual or more jbod external for safe backups.

Every year upgrade and stick to proxmox and opnsnese untill/unless you have reason otherwise.

    why sdd for storage? 4 tb hd costs less than half of an ssd. even for the system it's enough, if you can stomach a 20 sec boot instead of 5
