How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business? (lemm.ee)

Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I'm planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I'm setting up a website for my computer store. I want it to have listings and payment options so they can check out there. I want my customer data to be secure. I don't want it to have any JavaScript or nasty trackers. I want it to be FOSS. Any help is highly appreciated!

the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it

Isn't the main shop plugin (woocommerce) heavily infested with that though?

Everything Wordpress is heavily infested with that. However you don't have to let it impact you -- it kind of looks to me like they pressure commercial vendors to put their stuff under the GPL if they're wanting to offer a free version, so there's a robust ecosystem of actually-FOSS tooling for it. My experience has been that it's always worked pretty well in practice; you just have to keep your nope-I'm-not-paying-for-your-paid-version goggles firmly affixed. (Also, side note, GPT does an excellent job of writing little functions.php snippets for you to enable particular custom functionality for your Wordpress install when you need it.)

LOL, getting GPT to write code for the most unholy combination of the worst the blog and e-commerce have to offer, that should work well.

Honestly having GPT write one-off code for you for particular selected pieces (esp ones that require a lot of domain knowledge) works pretty well in my experience
