Is tailscale running / logged in on those other devices? Does it auto detect the server like it did on the phone?
Imo it might be easier to collaboratively build keyword lists. It's tedious to tag posts manually, and it becomes impossible to do it effectively after the user base grows past a certain point. You can auto-remove any post that isn't tagged, but a lot of people dislike that kind of filtering and only a few communities would implement something like that
For sure, I'll also edit them into the post

IMO it's partially because investors are willing to throw money at anything "AI" related, and so people are throwing everything at the wall in case something sticks
Unless they mean something like the Respondus rootkit

IMO some exams should just be proctored in person
Is this because it's getting difficult for students to mess with the boot options?
Have you tried the third party ones? I've seen recommendations for Swiftfin
I'm not sure which guides to recommend, but in case it helps narrow down your search, you could share more about your situation:
-
Do you have any existing hardware or are you planning to buy? If so, what is the budget for the equipment and where in the world are you approximately?
-
What did you want to self host? Some services would benefit from a certain type of setup. For example, if you're serving lots of media, if you need redundancy and uptime, if you're running AI models or something that needs a GPU
General tips:
- take lots of notes on your process. This will help you iteratively improve your setup. If it all falls apart, it will be easier to quickly get going again since you know what options you picked at each step.
- Make more posts here when you get stuck on something :)
For Linux, a lot of people go with Ubuntu server because there are a lot of existing guides for it. You don't need much Linux knowledge to start self hosting since you can learn by doing over time. Some concepts to explore before getting started might be cron, the Linux file system, and user permissions.
For Docker, you should be fine if you know the basics. I'd recommend using Docker Compose since it's easier to understand what's happening when its written out in a nice yaml file. Install Docker and Docker Compose on the server, and then install something like DockGE to manage the compose files. When you want to run a service, copy the Docker compose file and then swap the port to what port you want to use, and the volume to the location you tend to use.
For a very basic setup, I'd find a video guide for
- installing Ubuntu server on the machine
- basic setup of the Ubuntu server (file permissions, docker, docker compose)
crashes
Maybe, but could it also be an intentional dark pattern to make it difficult to cancel?
I haven't heard of any learning curve with Jellyfin. It seems easy to set up, and the apps are about as user friendly as you can get (especially the third party ones)

While Voyager has mod tools, I'm not sure if you can create a community in the app.
You might need to do the initial setup on the website: https://sh.itjust.works/create_community
Afterwards you should be able to take mod actions on the app
