Hey selfhosters.

I have a question about starting self hosting; I have run Jellyfin on an old MacBook for a bit and wanna dip more than a toe into the self host pool. Are there any guides out there you’d recommend for actual, complete beginners who knows nothing but wants to learn?

I’ve searched a lot but it feels like they’re pretty advanced for beginners. Is it just a really sharp learning curve to this, or am I not finding the good ones?

Edit: To clarify what level I’m really, truly at: I run the Jellyfin server on regular macOS and have an external 5TB drive connected via usb. That’s it.

right, and what's tripping you up? you've set up jellyfin, but other services are not cooperating?

    I'm probably going to change hardware in a not-so-distant future, as the macbook is struggling with 2 simultaneous 1080p streams and is having a meltdown with 4K ones. I'm not using Docker, which seems to be a go-to as well.

    From what I've gathered with the comments here, learning Linux is the first step.
