Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm not sure, but I would be surprised if there was, especially for any sort of modern equipment. Networking hardware is really just a standard computer with a lot of specialized SoC chips specific to networking routines. So your generic home wireless router is an ARM chip, some ram, some storage, and then a wireless SoC chips, for example. Most of your enterprise type switches are basically the same Intel or AMD CPUs you'd find in a server with a ton of specialized single-purpose chips augments to offload specific jobs really fast.
So if there was a very basic beginner course to building networking hardware like, it would probably be using the concepts that 80's hardware may have used I'd guess. Maybe try looking for someone building a modem or NIC from scratch?
