I'm curious as to what you'd need(other than a server) to spin oneupp
Some time and tinkering.
It's quite straightforward (especially if you don't use nginx or need email) to use the docker install.
So you need a Linux box (IDK about windows) a fix IP with a port routed to your machine and some free time. Oh yeah a domain name pointing to said IP.
That's good to know, thanks! Would love to try that some day
It's definitely achievable and I'd encourage anyone to play around with self hosting.
The main thing to acknowledge before getting started is that it's an ongoing commitment, like a puppy. Getting it to work initially is the easy part, you can follow a guide and have something working in a few hours of effort. Running in to problems later on is the tricky part, automated backups and upgrades et cetera, something needs a re-start, things just stop working for some reason.
Ah yeah, I can imagine it's not a one and done thing, you'd have to do a lot of support with your server, can see it being a massive time sink
Yeah it's not so much the amount of time, but the unpredictable schedule.
Something suits itself and you have to fix it to get your stuff working.
Tolerable if it's only you, awful if you have other users.
