Advice for an absolute newbie?
Hi all! I'm aware this post is going to sound really stupid but I would really appreciate any help or tips you can give me!!
I am currently still on Spotify and thinking through different divestment options. My most recent idea has been to self-host, and I'm very excited at that prospect. However, I know absolutely nothing about tech. Like actually nothing at all, I'm an absolute newbie (talk to me like I'm 5 years old, like I'm not kidding when i say I know nothing).
From my little bit of research I've done so far I have come accross Navidrome, which a lot of people seem to recommend for this. So naturally, I have some questions and would appreciate any feedback or tips on any of these.
- Is it feasible for someone who knows nothing to self-host using Navidrome? Or am I wayyy over my head with this?
- I literally only own my 2024 Macbook Air M3 16GB and NO other equipment. And my internet is Verizon Fios 500 mbps (idk if that's relevant). Do I need other equipment or can I do this from my laptop? If I need other equipment, what do I need and how much am I looking at (approximately)?
- Can you recommend youtube videos, articles, or blogs that will walk me through all the steps like i'm an actual toddler?
- Maybe you think Navidrome is not the right choice for me but can think of more beginner friendly options? I'd love to hear those too.
Please be nice, I really have no idea what I'm doing, but i'm willing to put in the time to learn!! And thank you in advance for any advice or words of encouragement! I also of course want to hear if you think it's super unfeasible for me, as I don't want to waste my time either!
