Part two of the Household Tech Saga. Robin digs an old computer out of the cupboard and, with his friend Darren's very enthusiastic help, spends a weekend on home server setup: each app in its own container, a port opened on the router, and a certificate so the address is secure. By Sunday night the old computer as a home server is running a photo library, a password vault, a notes app and Milo's game server. That's a home server for family life, and it's fun: you learn how the pieces fit, and every app runs the way you set it up. Running your own server at home is a brilliant hobby, and if you're curious about self-hosting for beginners, this is what the first weekend feels like. The Household Tech Saga is a short animated series from ElfHosted about one family's tech: subscription soup, a server at home, the upkeep, and finding the elves. Each episode stands on its own; watch them in order in the playlist on our channel.
