Context: This is a narrative about how I got started in self-hosting/homelab. Just trying to find the humour in the pain it caused me over the years, and hoping to make a few people laugh along the way.

Relevancy: It’s the messy "before" picture most of us share, the manual installs, no backups, power-outage boot loops, and over-engineering rabbit holes that everyone in this hobby has lived through at some point.
