I have a Pixel 8… a PC with Linux Mint. How do I learn to “self host”. Mainly for photo storage backup. Where do I start? I know nothing, absolutely nothing

    for “photo storage backup”, you can simply use syncthing.

    unless you want to really learn to “self host”

      apart from syncthing not being a backup solution, the question revolves around seldhosting im general, not purely on photo backup.

        also, this is from syncthing-fork tips tips

          you pointing out “mainly” just shifts his question to the next time he decides to host a service, which is what i meant to point out.

          they might state that, but upstream syncthing says that the feature is intentionally hidden in the advanced settings and they plan to deprecate it.
