Sorry if someone already asked this, but do you have any tutorials or guides that you used and found helpful for starting out? I have some small experience with nginx and such, but I would definitely need to follow along with something that tells me what to do and what each part does in a infrastructure like you have haha

I bet a venn diagram of Lemmings and people who you would find at a con is practically a circle

None taken

Is there a noob breakdown somewhere of what each of those are?

Is there an advantage to hosting your own instance?
