From reddit selfhosted: What do you wish you knew from the start - eviltoast

I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

    I’ve only really use caddy and my only experience with ngnix is ngnix proxy manager (which isn’t really true ngnix).

    I wasn’t sure if hot swapping certs (even with same name was possible, kinda thought you would to reload it upon cert change).

    Also regarding cert bot I have only used it in manual mode so it’s managed mode is a bit foreign.
