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

I’m not sure a 5 year old would be quite far enough along to grasp some things but you could check out Lawrence Systems, Techno Tim, and Network Chuck out over on YouTube.

I too would like this.

Would like to ditch OneDrive as build a mini-PC to host all my files

What do you want to host on this server? it’s kinda hard to suggest resources without knowing that information

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.
