%Self-Host% server is at home

• Fibre is coming to your house
• IPv6 makes it easy to put a server on the internet
• Digital Libertarianism: avoid costs and corporate restrictions when serving from the cloud
• Leverage free and open source Fedora Linux Server …
• Sponsored and heavily influenced by Red Hat—>IBM
  • Fedora Server is the best server you need no money to buy!
  • Red Hat sponsors remote management, virtual machines and container technologies

Why install OpenLiteSpeed on Fedora?

• Because they say it can’t be done…
• With new Red Hat restrictions RHEL compatible distros may disappear
• Because it is a great way to learn useful Linux skills for Mac techies

Why use a Mac to manage the server?

• Don’t listen to the Linux Desktop Community
  • As a personal computer and operating system, the Mac is superior
    • But Apple doesn’t want you to use a Mac as a server.
    • It costs 3x the price to buy a Mac server comparable to an AMD/Intel based-server
    • You don’t need a GPU for most server use cases
• WIth UTM.app UTM | Virtual machines for Mac it is easy to run a virtual machine locally with any ARM-based Linux distro
• Most CLI/TUI utilities also run on a Mac via Homebrew — The Missing Package Manager for macOS (or Linux)

Learn on a local machine and deploy on the local network
