My background is at the end in an ABOUT ME section
I am trying to find a "getting started" that wasn't VPS oriented.
Personally trying to get a raspberry 5 server to run
Ollama using phi3:mini
Telegraph with a bot for outside communication, and secured for private use
Discord, set up similarly privately
Open claw with webaccess
The I prefer to run headless, with ssh only access.
Eventually set up rsync for backup. I do plan on installing a 1T nvme ssd for boot and general storage.
Any pointers would be helpful.
ABOUT ME
I am a retired computer geek, just wanting to learn. I did some hardware but mainly software development for big companies. I did mainframe, mini, and microcomputer work, moved to do sysadmin on mainframe VM support, then Unix sysadmin on various flavors mini and micros. Often specializing in disaster recovery and backups. All as either employees or external consultant. Now over 70, it is just for fun.
