I've written a series of blog posts about a "hands-off" self-hosting setup intended for relative beginners. (cyclicircuit.prose.sh)

Recently, I've found myself walking several friends through what is essentially the same basic setup:

Install Ubuntu server
Install Docker
Configure Tailscale
Configure Dockge
Set up automatic updates on Ubuntu/Apt and Dockge/Docker
Self-host a few web apps, some publicly available, some on the Tailnet.

After realizing that this setup is generally pretty good for relative newcomers to self-hosting and is pretty stable (in the sense that it runs for a while and remains up-to-date without much human interference) I decided that I should write a few blog posts about how it works so that other people can set it up for themselves.

As of right now, there's:

Coming soon:

Immich
Backups with Syncthing
Jellyfin
Elementary monitoring with Homepage
Cloudflare Tunnels

Constructive feedback is always appreciated.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am planning a backups article
