That's the kind of arrogant attidude that makes many docs of open-source projects so shitty. If you think that preliminary knowledge about something is required then at least share a link to a source where you can learn it. Docs that require you to puzzle the missing pieces together on your own are shitty docs. A good documentation is a documentation that everyone understands, regardless of their level of knowledge.

No - you're not installing an app from the App Store. You're running services now. There needs to be some minimum assumed knowledge about what that entails. And if you don't have that knowledge you should expect to seek it out separately.

And if you're too lazy or think "gee that's difficult" then guess what? Self-hosting's not for you. No shame - go pay for a service instead.
