For some months now, I’ve been trying to set up an Mbin instance, since as it’s more manual than the other softwares I found, and I understand things better if I can see the logic behind them. I’d rather do that before going for automated processes where if something breaks, I don’t know how to handle. However, trying to figure things out as I go, it’s so much stuff that I figured out instead what I knew was very little.

As I was also interested in hosting other sites, this made me reevaluate things, and turns out several things I don’t know, like how to host two sites in a same machine, how to handle horizontal attacks, what some tools are used for, etc.

So going back to the title, what to study? Maybe some specific book? Private classes/courses? Online tutorials? Something else? Just no university suggestion, please - from experience, they are extremely shallow at best.

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for explaining the path!

    About Yunohost... (rambly comment ahead)

    I’m aware of it, but avoiding for the reason of learning manually, and also because, as an end user, I don’t like any of the ActivityPub-compatible softwares they offer. Also the amount of troubleshooting I did for people that would press triangle¹ early on in Autoplugin for the PS Vita sure helped making me very wary of automated processes without understanding them.

    ¹Triangle made all homebrew plugins listed in Autoplugin get installed, including experimental and incompatible ones. Also been some ~7 years since the function got removed and I never used it myself, but the problem was so widespread I remember down to the key used for running it… 🥹
