Foreword
I started this project because I noticed that many people are currently trying to get away from Big Tech corporations like Google, Meta, X, etc. Many of these people lack the expertise to host their own systems.
After musing my idea about a self hosting project on the Fediverse ("Mastodon") I got an overwhelming amount of positive reactions.
So here we are, with the SelfHosting4All project.
I have my roots in the data security business. If you Google SearX on my name you might find some more info about this.
I have self hosted some large volume systems myself for two decades, so I have some experience.
At this moment, we are still in the brainstorming stage. Not much is set in stone.
A VPS can run a variety of things, of which not all of them are of interest to everyone. Therefor I want to present the installation of independent services in individual "books". Setting up an email server would be such a book, that can be skipped if you don't want to run your own email server.
This selfhosted "wiki" environment looks great to present my books, it has the additional benefit that we can allow guest writers later on, and/or allow knowledgeable people to update and/or enhance the existing "books".
