This article marks the start of an exciting series in which we will be looking in detail at the topics of "Proxmox and its possibilities", "Hardware recommendations" and "Self-hosting applications".

Proxmox?

We will also cover well-known self-hosting applications such as Nextcloud, WordPress, Mastodon and similar recommended apps and explain how you can get them running on your Proxmox server.

Hardware recommendation
In another part of this series, we will look at the hardware. We will give you recommendations on which Mini PC is suitable for your project and what you should look out for when buying.

Join us on this journey through the world of self-hosting and discover how you can create a flexible and efficient platform for a wide range of applications with little effort. This is just the start of a series that will help you gain full control over your data and services.
