Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy (anarchist.nexus)

Apologies for the poor grammar, English IS my first language and so I'm rather flagrant with runons.

I'm really not half as tech literate as half the people on the fediverse, but my noia about the state of online cloud hosting and lack of control over my data has led me far out of my depth. I'm wanting to set up a LibreCMC router and connect it to some type of home server (made of local office E-Waste) for media storage, email hosting, and fucking Minecraft servers or something. I promise I've tried my best in searching for the problem but often find myself floundering in 3-letter acronyms, and relations between systems I don't understand (like dockers, or the Jellyfin vs Plex argument.) I don't need an explanation but maybe some orientation on where I am to look for resources on these topics that assume I'm the 6 celled neurobase I am.

Thank you for your help, or your chastising.

I feel you have on this post. I often need my tech guides to start 3 steps before earlier. Usually have a few tabs open to refer to; I would also love a self hosting guide that talks to me like I'm a little dumb 😂
