  • Why are you wanting to use python for self hosting? Python is a programming and scripting language.

    There are two big things I would focus on. The first thing is networking, the OSI model and http basics. The other thing I would look into is Linux containers. If you can get both of these you are golden. Learn how to use and write docker compose files and then looking into building your own containers with Dockerfiles. You don’t really need to build your own containers but it is good for learning








  • Kubernetes is a mixed bag. It is extremely powerful but its complexity tends to scare people away. The biggest issue with Kubernetes is that it can become the source of failure when done incorrectly.

    I don’t really have a good alternative. I have investigated pacemaker but it has its own challenges.

    For now it is probably best to just setup shared storage and then manually start containers on a host. The idea is that having multiple hosts allows for faster recovery. You still can have health checking per host so that containers get restarted as needed.
