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

I've been following your posts to set up some self hosting and it's been going well so far, thank you!

I have noticed that a lot of the images in the posts don't seem to be loading (422 errors), it hasn't been too much of a deal breaker so far but in the section about running tailscale in a container and editing the acls file there's a couple images that are showing the before and after of this file that aren't loading for me. Hopefully this is something that isn't too difficult for you to fix.

Thanks again for these posts, I've learned a lot so far and even got jellyfin working on my phone outside my local network using tailscale.

I am very happy to hear that. Sadly I don't know what to do about the images not loading. I am just using the free tier of pico.sh, so I imagine that corners have been cut for pathological consumers like me. If you ever need a specific image or something doesn't make sense, feel free to DM!
