  • As you want to do multiple different things, I recommend you install a hypervisor on the laptop, such as Proxmox. It’ll make it easier for you, as a non-programmer, to manage containers and virtual machines.

    You will have to deal some high level networking concepts regardless of what level of self-hosting you do, so you should familarize yourself with it. IP addresses, ports, basic firewalling, etc.

    I won’t stop you, but I will strongly discourage you from trying to host your own Email. It is a complicated mess of new standards stacked on top of ancient standards and it’s miserable to work with even when it works. If you misconfigure your email server, you’ll get blocked by every major email provider and there’s no way back from that except starting over with a whole new IP and domain.



  • Take a few steps back and ask yourself what needs you’re trying to fill. I never heard of Yunohost before, but it sounds high-level and abstract. Are you a programmer? Are you familiar with Linux? Are you comfortable in a terminal? Are you familiar with networking?

    Find out what you want to do before installing “everything and the kitchen sink” solutions.
