Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You said it yourself — you're new to self hosting, and CasaOS fits what you want to host. As a starting point for getting rid of hosted services, go with that for a start.
Sure, you won't immediately be getting your hands dirty mucking about with dockers and stuff, but you will have your working home server. For learning and experimentation, I second @Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com's plan B — use another machine to test building the same setup on a base Linux system.
If you're like me you probably have an old laptop lying around that wouldn't be great as an always up, day to day server, but as a testing environment to mess around with docker containers it should be fine?
