I’ve read ‘The Home Lab Handbook: Building and Managing Your Own IT Lab from Scratch’ which I would recommend to anyone just starting out in selfhosting and homelabing. Relative to that, I found a ‘course’ online (https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents) that would also be useful for new arrivals.

Anyone reading any good HomeLab & Selfhosting books lately?

    Guys, OP is asking for recommendations for books about self-hosting, not recommendations on how to self-host books.

        Got it. Never even thought about looking into books when I was getting into the hobby. It was all just searching and following online guides. I am curious if there’s anything out there other than the typical linux/networking stuff.

          There are a few that I’ve managed to see that specifically deal with selfhosting and homelabs:

          • The Proxmox Homelab Bible: The Ultimate Homelab Guide to Virtualization, Self-Hosting, and DIY Cloud Power
          • Automating the Homelab with Ansible, Terraform & SaltStack : A Beginner’s Guide to Smart Servers, Raspberry Pi Projects
          • The Complete Homelab Bible: Learn how to Build, Automate and Master Personal and Professional IT Labs ; Virtualization, Networking, Storage, Containers, Automation, Security and Real-World

          I find reading far better for me, than watching a video tutorial.
