How does one go about self hosting something like this, Iโ€™ve never done it before, but im not too keen on giving discord my ID or a face scan (definitely not both)

Fluxer is still very much in alpha/beta, and documentation for self-hosting is yet to be written.

If you'd like to host something more mature that offers 90% of the functionality of Discord, I'd recommend hosting an XMPP server, which would enable you to also host a Movim instance on top of it. You can ask for help as a beginner in !selfhosted@lemmy.world to get started :)

You could also use Movim without hosting it yourself, since it's already federated like Lemmy/Piefed are.

Sadly, the answer can range from super technical to super boiled down version. Depending on individual's knowledge, money reserves, and the will to set things up the proper way.

Here's the boiled down version: You will need a server with a public IP address, preferably a hostname. The server has have SSH access. Then it is whichever way is most convenient - direct install, docker, etc.

I, for example, have a Scaleway + Cloudflare DNS for my server and run everything in Docker behind Traefik reverse proxy that automatically serves certificates.

The price is about 15โ‚ฌ for the server per month, DNS is free, domain is under 20โ‚ฌ a year - although way cheaper ones exist.
