awesome-selfhosted
A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers
None of these lists ever seem to be as fleshed out, up to date, or well organized as https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted , though imo any more attention on the self hosted scene is awesome. We're now self hosting everything at my co-op, and it's a dream. Saves us money, provides learning opportunities, potentially is getting us work (managed hosting providers asking if we can be a devshop for their clients, for example), and lets us give back to the FOSS community as we uncover bugs.
We use:
* Matrix / Synapse for comms (slack alternative) (managed hosting through etke.cc)

In my frustration with MS Office, I gave it a chance and searched for MS Office alternatives ... and found https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad ! Looks quite nice. Maybe I should set that up on a server.

awesome-selfhosted
This is a list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted locally. Selfhosting is the process of locally hosting and managing applications instead of renting from SaaS providers. (by LubuntuFu)
I was in exactly your position a couple of months ago and have just got my first apps running this week!
Im a web developer so had a bit of experience with containers, cli and linux but only basic web related stuff.
Ill detail my journey and then let others tell you how wrong I am.
I bought a thinkcenter m715q for $200ish which was suggested as a good budget starting machine. There's lots of info about this on https://reddit.com/r/homelab , https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted and https://www.servethehome.com
I installed ubuntu and had a play around but then decided proxmox seemed like the way to go for what I wanted to so. So I watched a range of youtubers
