- I'm looking for a buddy to work through using #Proxmox to host a packaged / integrated solution to cover suite of self hosted applications together.

I'd like to find someone who is exploring this space and step through implementing a solution - rather than experience / guidance from someone who's already done it before so I'd just be asking them a heap of questions and being a general pain in the backside.

Sort of light fellow students learning a language I'd like to explore hosting friendica or a similar social media server, #homeassistant #nextcloud, a media server ( #jellyfin maybe), #email #personalfinance and other applications within a framework such as CoopCloud, Yunohost or something else) - I have some experience with #openwrt - which I use for VPNs

Is anyone else out there on a similar learning curve - Are you based in #Madrid, #Barcelona in Spain or #London, #Huddesfield in the UK or close by? I'd be up for some in person meets and chats as well as online. (Now I feel like I'm writing a profile for a dating site ) - Is this weird. I like my hobby but I'd like it to be more social - and develop, or more likely adopt some design patterns that can be used by others.

I think you should seek someone with experience, a mentor. Otherwise it's the blind leading the blind.

@frongt Yeah. i like aking for advice but some of the joy is the discovery and figuring out things. its a.balance right? I get heaps of support online but working something out by talking with someone can be fun.

I would echo that, look for a mentor.

How much Linux terminal do you know? As that will speed up your learning

If you don't find someone, maybe you can find a hackerspace or the like in those locations. There might be people already doing what you are currently looking into.

If you speak Spanish, a month ago or so I was pointed at https://foro.autoalojado.es/, might be interesting to discuss the in-person stuff, although it doesn't seem like it's reaching a critical mass of activity :(
