  • awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

    • You can setup things like Plex/Jellyfin, you can run your own Document Server (think google docs) with NextCloud, a file share for your home network (nfs or smb). It's hard to say what you may be in to, but you can learn a lot about networking or containerization (docker or LXC with something like proxmox). I'm not sure what kind of things you are into or would like to learn so it's hard to give suggestions. Here is a small maintained list of self hosted things to look into: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

  • awesome-sysadmin

    A curated list of amazingly awesome open source sysadmin resources inspired by Awesome PHP.

    • Learn, host, experience. We use home servers to build a lab, run various solutions to learn how the software works (prepare for a certification), to host/serve services for private/home use. https://github.com/kahun/awesome-sysadmin is another link to share.
