Скачать или смотреть The ULTIMATE home server (Nextcloud, WireGuard, Plex, Transmission)

This video shows my process of building my home server that I started 3 years ago. I went trough a lot of pain and configuration to get where I am. At the beginning I used snap packages for Nextcloud and that led me to the way of running everything bare metal since dealing with permissions and isolation that snap and docker have was proving quite the pain. I'm no IT guy just like to mess around with stuff and get my hands dirty so keep that in mind :)
Any suggestions on how I messed up or improving are highly appreciated!
