I am not a computer engineer or a software developer. I have never set up a server in my life. I want to set up a server on my old computer by watching videos and doing the same things that were done. Is there a video that will tell me how to set up our own server as if I were 5 years old? We will be very happy if someone who knows can prepare this video and share it with us. Edit:To host my own “lemmy” account

    The answer is yes those videos exist, but you need to get an idea of exactly what you want your server to do.

    To give you an idea, I have 5 servers hosting 8 different services, and the entire process is a bit different for each. Nothing massive, but each one wants things set up just right and only some of those things can coexist.

      Can you elaborate on that? I’ve been looking at doing this as well, but the videos I found either didn’t go into a step by step process or they assumed the user had certain things set up or had a certain level of knowledge already, so they skip a lot of things .

      I was under the impression that you could set up a server and run Docker? that would have all of the various apps in one location. Is this not right?
