I’m trying to selfhost files with nextcloud and imich (idk if I have writen it correctly)
English isn’t my first language btw


Debian is fine and you can follow many tutorials (Ubuntu tutorials also usually work as the difference isn’t big).
Lubuntu is a lightweight and fast variant of Ubuntu, so the Ubuntu instructions you find online should still work.
For selfhosting, I would advise against installing a desktop environment and rather suggest to install a server version without GUI.
For a noob, better something with a webui.
Debian is great and is the backbone of my self-hosting setup too! :D
Yunohost, as others have said, seems like a pretty good option too, but I couldn’t get it to boot, so I used Debian instead.
You can install Yunohost on Debian. It’s just a single command.
curl https://install.yunohost.org/ | bashCan you recomend a tutorial?
I mean, I can link to the documentations but, that’s literally it. That’s the entire thing.
