Where to start as a beginner - eviltoast

My ultimate goal with learning this is I want to self host my own Monero node and eventually maybe even self host emails and after that learn docker as well.

But I am a long, long way from there.

Where do I start with something like this if I have no experience with networking?

Should I just start with learning a VPS? I just don’t like the idea of me not being able to physically control the server because I think one day Monero might be outlawed or something.

But I’ll do whatever I have to to learn.

    Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

    Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

    If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.
