FUTO just made a 14hrs long video introduction to Selfhosting! (plus a written version) 💾
Futo (Louis Rossman) at it again with great content, this time a Guide to a Self Managed life. This 14hrs long guide comes in two video parts, aswell as a written guide for those who prefer. Both video and written quide comes with complete chapters and timestamps. This should be a great starting point for those who have the time and want to start learning from the very beginning.

Happy selfhosting in 2025 everyone ✨
You're viewing a single thread.
@Sunny@slrpnk.net There is absolutely no way any starter will see that page and not be intimidated. I am a well seasoned selfhoster and even I saw that and went "Wow that's a lotta words and images on a single page."
Even arch wiki has sensible ToC with pages divided into what the current topic is.
actually yeah, fair point. I think perhaps the videoes are probably what they aim to be more beginner friendly rather than the written one.
That's a possibility indeed, but at least he documented all the steps, it's great to see that because it looks like a lot of work. But I agree at the first that big long page for sure can be intimidated (CTRL+F is your best friend here).
I think solely focusing on usability for "power-users" single page makes sense. Nevertheless, I think web design seems to prefer many pages though I don't know if that's driven by user-friendliness or driving up the "click-through" rate.
Yeah, beginners are probably better served with Yunohost.
It's so easy to self host! Just watch 14 hours of a talking head!
Fan of FUTO, but can't recommend this to most people thinking of starting. Needs to be less "scary".
If only there was a way to.. freeze media playback so that one can... oh shoot, we need a word for that next step, too, maybe... 'resume' could work? Yeah, resume it at a later date.
Such a shame that this idea has never been possible.
Agree! It can only act as a reference. I like the approach taken by distributions like Yunohost where all the details are abstracted away.
Hrm, I don't. Part of the fun is learning how things work, and I've heard to many complaints of incompatibilities and lack of updates with Yuno, though I haven't tried it, so second hand.
Agreed, that should be many tens of pages not one. Also the mobile layout isn’t very good. I think it’s important to remember that normies use their phones for almost everything.
