Hey folks!
I’ve started up a wiki for the community here, putting it up on Codeberg for easy access, edits, and forking if desired.
Right now you’ll see only three pages:
- Home: A quick landing page and overview, with a link to external resources that matches the sidebar here.
- Glossary: Overview of terms~~, which I just realized has a few formatting goofs I’ll be fixing shortly.~~ Edit: Fixed
- OS Choices: A review of how to choose your OS for self-hosting, or multiple if thats a better fit for your needs.
There is also a hidden _Sidebar.md, which is visible as a sidebar on the wiki. There you’ll see the framework of what I’m setting up, and the links are put in only when the content is there.
A few notes:
- This is all my brain dump at the moment. I’m trying to keep personal opinions / slant out of it, but some things may still show up. Most likely unintentional, so it can be addressed if you see it.
- I use Kate for all of my editing, and the preview is… eh not my favorite, so its absolutely possible for me to notice formatting snafus after a commit. As mentioned above. As always, you can feel free to comment, contribute, correct, etc.
- Codeberg wiki has a few… specific limitations, notably that everything goes into the same directory. Subdirectories are only for assets, so you may see names have a common theme, like “getting_started_WhateverTheActualPageIs”. This is intentional for my sorting purposes to deal with how they handle things.
- I’ve seen someone here share their wiki for a user (who I’ll be reaching out to), as I’d personally enjoy seeing members of our community featured as a resource. If you have a wiki you’d like to share, please send me a message. If the list gets lengthy, we can turn it into a link to a post called Community Member Knowledge Base or something.
- The repository above the wiki has things like the rules and sidebar contents, minus a few of the more recent things like the example post. I add there as I have time available, and a bit of a python script for a super basic bot will be there as well (to respond to [AIP] posts without a Disclosure, have to make a few fixes on that before it goes in)
After I get the getting started section complete, I’ll add to the sidebar as a resource, but I wanted to put this out there if others wanted to contribute as well.
Edit: Kind of stretching the definition of “code”, but I’ve added the tag since this is kind of a promo item.
Edit: Now with a hardware section - once I add in the writeup for services (at a getting started level) it’ll be in the sidebar fulltime. A tomorrow task if I can swing it…
threaded - newest
Wow! I’m impressed with our new overlord(s). You hit the ground running. You need some volunteers.
Doing what I can!
I’m still behind on responding to a few folks who have made offers to help, in the pipeline but we’ve had other… fun events (plus personal responsibilities eating up my time) which have gotten in the way of progress here and there.
And for the record, I consider myself maintenance crew!
Well, your efforts are to be commended. I will say, that since you arrived, I’ve seen more interesting things posted here. People seem a bit more relaxed. I don’t know if that is coincidence or if there are exterior forces influencing that, but keep up the good work.
Starred, :) probably will contribute here and there salutes
I have a wiki! Covers way more diverse topics than self-hosting though. It’s mostly a copy pasted stream of consciousness and links to other resources, with varying quality. Lots of stub articles.

Awesome! Going on the list!
Thank You for not putting it on Github! 😀
Pfft I’d spin up a wiki before I’d do that!
It’s actually pretty advanced stuff already. I feel overwhelmed even though I already have experience self-hosting. I hope there is a chapter where I could participate, but it doesn’t look like it.

Just go ahead and let me know what’s in the too advanced territory, and I’ll be happy to rework it
Edit: For the record, this is how we make it better and more accessible, which is the goal
Is it possible to get write access? My codeberg username is Alfredolin.
Yeah, you can also just make a PR
I’ll be able to get on there a little later today, doing a cert class today and tomorrow
I’ve never done it before, but apparently I’m too stupid to do a PR. I forked the whole lw_selfhosted by clicking on the fork button on the wiki page, and somehow that does not include the wiki. You have probably better things to do so maybe we should just forget it. Anyway I did not have an interesting input.
I’m doing some training stuff for work thats eating up my week, but I’ll help work through that with you later on if you’d like
The wiki itself is a slightly different bit, its the repo with .wiki at the end and it is its own thing (one of the oddities of codeberg wiki I mentioned)
You can also comment here or send me a message, or write it in your fork and let me know, whichever works. I don’t believe there is anything that I’d consider “uninteresting input” fwiw :)
I’m working on building out a wiki that will flow according to skill level. Still early days, but working on it.
I’m sure you are being inundated with suggestions, so I figured I’d add to the work load. /s
I’ve always found The Linux Upskill Challenge a good starting point for newcomers. Covers pretty much all the basics in easily digestible chapters. Not sure if you’re looking for anything like that, but there it is.
Great idea! Putting it on the list, hopefully doing this update to the bar this weekend (I’ve got a few days of yet-another-cert training left still)
