Hi, everyone!
I’m kinda new at self-hosting, so I need a few tips to get started. Is there any guides that you can recommend for the begginer? My goal is to run a vps with self-hosting tools for daily usage, like Jellyfin, Navidrome, Baïkal, proxy-tool, maybe a Gitea instance etc.
I have a domain purchased and basic nginx configured, but I’m not sure where I should go next or if I need to take any special steps.
Thanks in advance.

If you haven’t, get yourself familiar with Docker and docker compose, and then use portainer to manage all your stuff. It’s a lifesaver.
I’m already a little familiar with Docker, but I’ll definetly need to get to know it better. Thanks!
And remember, friends don’t let friends use latest. Pin the versions in your manifests and version control everything.
