I found this randomly as I try to transition away from square space. I am a neophyte and have no clue about most of the things you wrote. For context, I started to write HTML and CSS way back in the 90s and just never went any further. Fast forward and I have the internet related skills of a troglodyte.

Where would you recommend someone like me start reading or learning about self hosting?

This is a very technical way to self-host, and I feel there are easier ways to go about it. Is your end goal to be able to upload a website but avoid big tech platforms?

[–] its_me_xiphos@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Correct, that is my end goal.

If your code is already in a Git repository, the simplest solution would be to use statichost, which has a free plan. It works on the same principle as Netlify, where your site is updated when you push the code.
