Hello Lemmy! Long time lurker, first time poster here.

Myself and a few friends love self-hosting, but believe that it's hard to get started. So we created what we believe to be the easiest gateway to homelabbing, and we called it Homelabinator!

To celebrate our launch, we are running a giveaway! Submit a screenshot of a subscription you have canceled to enter into a giveaway for a free domain of your choice!

Check it out here: homelabinator.com

OP, I took a cursory run through of the site. Looks good. Could really have potential for those just dipping their toes in the self hosting pool. I haven't tested the ISO created tho. One thing, Tailscale client id & secret. I'm not sure I would want to disclose that on an unknown website, because of privacy issues. I understand why you included it, but it seems like an brief explanation as to how to do that manually, once the ISO is deployed, for those who might have some of the same reservations. Perhaps I overlooked that if it exists. Otherwise it looks like it would be a great introductory to self hosting.

Onward and upward.

ETA: I like the name too.

What does eta stand for in this context? I've seen it before and can't figure it out

ETA = Edit To Add

Kind of like P.S.

Why not just use the standard, "Edit: I like the name too."

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Because that's just the way I do. LOL

I've never understood it either. I have to assume it's a younger generation thing that's moving into more online spaces as that generation grows up.

ETA will always be Estimated Time of Arrival. An actual useful acronym.
