I’m not in IT and had no prior experience.

I bought a used Dell Optiplex for cheap and used installation guides provided on the websites of the services I wanted to install (pihole, jellyfin, home assistant etc)

This is by far the easiest method to get started. Learn by doing.

Make all your services LAN only to start; don’t open anything up to be accessed outside your home network until you know a bit more, as making it secure requires a bit more time and knowledge.

Hot tip: use chat gpt to help you. If something doesnt work, feed the error messages to it and it will explain why and give you the commands to fix them.

Odoo might have bits you want/need. Linux based.

What’s a “hacker mindset” and why do you need one to use this app?

Update: The homepage explains “hacker mindset” by linking to the wiki article for hacker lol
