Okay, where's a complete beginners guide on hosting, setting up a server etc, assuming no knowledge?

https://perfectmediaserver.com/ is pretty nice. Hosts of self hosted podcast run it

The indieweb / smallweb community has some tutorials, like this one - https://32bit.cafe/cyowebsite/

Thanks so much! There's so many things saying we should self host, but seemingly no tutorials on how to do so for those of us with no knowledge on how to start, so we really appreciate the link!

One software not mentioned is Ente (https://ente.io/) which can also be hosted locally.

Also, I think it would be great to have a self-hosted AI assistant with voice to text, but I'm not sure if we are three yet.
