Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    I have 2 rpis and I have had running many things. Pihole, Wireguard, deluge, etc… One problem that I had is that it corrupted all my SD cards after some time. So I have them now collecting dust, and move all my services to real machines. It could be that I’m unlucky and got shitty SD cards, but I wouldn’t want to install something on it that I rely to be there in case you need to reimage the whole thing.

      AFAIK SD cards often die in RPis due to excessive writing (e.g. from logging), insufficient power supplies, and/or powering off improperly.
