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.

good summary.
two thoughts
This isn't so much a guide as it is one person's list of setup steps.
well.
guide definition:
whats the difference?
I'm far from an expert, but I've been using Hetzner for close to 20 years at this point. Both their VPSes and the actual rent-a-server.
I skimmed the article and I didn't notice anything blatantly bad in the approach. So they have my approval.
I personally don't enable automated upgrades anywhere, but I'm 25yrs into sysadmin and I have a pathological aversion to services being down.
I use some automation with ansible, but I like manual triggering so that a problem can manifest when I want it to (like a change window) and I can respond appropriately.
I also would include steps to back up the ssh public keys or have an alternate console available.
But as someone else mentioned, these seem to be someone's step guide to installs.
