Holy moley!! Seriously, really appreciate all those resources and the time it must have taken to write that!! Super excited to get stuck into this so will absolutely be making my way through all of these!!
Yeah I’ve been doing some reading and have seen Docker mentioned a good bit. I think I just needed some goals to start with, I’m sure I’ll take a roundabout route to get there and all some new goals once I have those two done!
When you say “hardening my infrastructure” you mean suring up the security, yeah? Also something I need to add to the list to learn about!
Thank you both, got similar advice on the original post on going more mini pc route! Can’t say I’ve done much research on them, but will certainly take a look using the Lenovo Tiny as a bench!

> Hi folks, looking for a bit of steer to get off the ground with self hosting. My goals to start with are pretty straight forward:
>
> - I want to set up Home Assistant to move my smart devices off the cloud and fully contained within the walls of my home.
> - I want to set up my own little Pixelfed server for my family's use, along with some other federated socials.
>
> From what I was looking at, I think my easiest route to doing both of these things is with a Home Assistant Yellow (built-in Zigbee and Thread system) with a Raspberry Pi 4.

> I've never done anything like this before but I'm interested in learning. If anyone more experienced has any insight or direction, I'd really appreciate it! Cheers!
