It's unimaginable how many things you can do with your own server, such as creating your own media server (like Netflix), creating a file storage server (like cloud storage services like Dropbox or OneDrive), game servers, and even setting up a Minecraft server. These are just a few examples. You can do a lot with a personal server.
And for those who are interested in this subject, are curious, and want to create their own personal server, their own Homelab, their own Homeserver, here on the channel, we're going to start a series on setting up a personal server from scratch, starting with choosing a machine, installing the operating system, learning the basics of the Linux command line, setting up services, working with containers and derivatives. It will cover everything from the basics to the intermediate level for those who want to set up a personal server and have no knowledge of the subject.
