I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

Could you give somd examples of something to selfhost? I am only really aware of selfhosting lemmy and other fediverse stuff

Replace existing online services you use with self hosted ones.

So, I'm not new to this (omg it's been 6+ years now wtf) but I don't host a lot of stuff, and it's been pretty easy to poke at; I've got:

  • plex
  • minecraft (bedrock and java)
  • freshrss
  • rustdesk
  • home assistant
  • vaultwarden
  • pihole
  • actual (budget software)

Running in docker containers, along with a few of the built-in plug-and-play services on my nas. Of that list, plex, minecraft, freshrss, rustdesk, and vaultwarden were very easy to setup in my situation. Rustdesk is a really good remote control program/service, vaultwarden is a fork of the bitwarden server, and plex was almost comically simple to get going as a media host.

I'm still getting my pieces together for my first server but I'm definitely gonna look into actual!

You could set up a dns based ad-blocker like pihole and a vpn like wireguard to tunnel your phone back into your home network so you have ad-blocking on the go, too. That's a semi beginner protect with plenty of tutorials to pick from.

You could run nextcloud, syncthing, or immich to make your own cloud at home but that might need more than a basic pi setup.

I actually set up pihole today!

It's a great software to run. I like to watch youtube tutorials that explain things step by step so i can understand what happens. If i find a good video i'll see what other software that channel may have a tutorial on and if that software may interest me.
