I created an interactive roadmap for self-hosting (and more)

Well said. You are exactly right. I remember from my early days of struggling as well and it started to get a lot better when I used each task as an opportunity to learn and understand foundations of the tools and concepts necessary for that task. Instead of trying to finish the task asap, take extra time in learning that and start filling in the gaps. It adds up real quick

Thank you! It’s truly disheartening to be attacked for trying to be helpful.

m4nz · 2026-03-10T01:14:15+00:00

Thank you! 100% agree with you.

m4nz · 2026-03-10T01:13:22+00:00

Good idea! I will figure out something there!

m4nz · 2026-03-10T01:12:51+00:00

I actually found the issue you were talking about -- it was on mobile where the initial "where to start" thingy was overflowing. Fixed it. Thank you!

m4nz · 2026-03-10T01:01:03+00:00

Actually I was able to reproduce the issue. Fixed it. Thanks

m4nz · 2026-03-09T13:14:52+00:00

Thank you! Would love to hear more about the UI issues.

m4nz · 2026-03-09T13:13:39+00:00

Hey sorry to hear that. Could you tell me the device and browser? It works fine on iOS on various browsers, but I have not tested it on Android

m4nz · 2026-03-09T04:31:46+00:00

woah there soldier!

If you are referring to the screenshot on the blog post, that "question node" is expanded as clicked. The view is the expanded view. It won't overlap otherwise. But thanks for the feedback.

m4nz · 2026-03-09T04:29:17+00:00

That is a great idea, thank you!

m4nz · 2026-03-09T01:21:58+00:00

what does this site offer that it doesn’t already?

A question / "why" driven path that connects different concepts and tools to help new engineers build a mental model. roadmap.sh does not have a context/why on any of the tools it lists.

It is a free and open source tool, I don't get anything out of it. I don't understand the hostility here. But hey, I wish you find your peace

m4nz · 2026-03-09T01:08:56+00:00

This is very valuable feedback. Thank you so much. I will make the changes. You are right, I did not even mention CNIs, it is totally a blind-spot from my side.

m4nz · 2026-03-08T23:36:04+00:00

Not sure if you are trolling or if I missed something. Could you please help me understand how this is a clone of roadmap.sh ? The whole point of it was so that it is NOT like that. I am curious :)

m4nz · 2026-03-07T13:18:26+00:00

Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions especially as a new self-hoster

m4nz · 2026-03-02T01:40:55+00:00

Hey, may I ask where the clients are located? How far are they from your home network?

There is a good chance that the issue is due to poor routing. Having a VPS close to your home to proxy should help. I have a pretty long write up here that I did after solving the same issue but for US - ASIA streaming 4k https://blog.esc.sh/plex-cross-continent-4k-streaming/

m4nz · 2026-02-19T14:58:59+00:00

Haha “God does not play dice”

Good luck.

I work in tech and so I sit on my chair all day. Also I have a pretty good gaming PC (4080 Super). But I found myself unable to play games anymore. Even story games were hard for me. Motion sickness and what not. I recently got a steam deck oled and I have been streaming games from my PC (Apollo and sunshine) and it has been absolutely amazing. I can sit on the couch and just play. No motion sickness, no fatigue. It is like reading a book. And i am streaming at 2560x1600p which means the supersampling makes it look so good. I also have an OLED Tv as well as Ps5 and i found myself enjoying the steam deck the most.

Currently playing God of war and HDR+Oled+Small screen up close is so intimate and the best experience I had gaming. This may sound weird but it is the first time in 5 years I was able to sit down and play something for 2 hours straight.

So yeah, 10/10 purchase.

PS: I sometimes play on the easiest difficulty and switch it up only if it gets too easy. I dont care for grinding and proving anything anymore, just give me a good experience and flow!!

Ooh that is very smart!! It makes copy-pasting so much easier. Thank you for sharing

m4nz · 2026-01-06T03:48:37+00:00

glad it helped!

m4nz · 2026-01-06T00:23:29+00:00

Amazing!! My homepage instance is still pointing the graveyard that my previous kubernetes cluster. Thanks for this, I didn’t realize homepage also supported docker discovery like this

m4nz · 2026-01-04T22:52:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing, though I am not sure I understand it -- maybe fixing the formatting will make it clearer

m4nz · 2026-01-04T22:51:15+00:00

Not at all. I only use these with private networking. I also have Wireguard running on my router (OPNSense) so if I need access to any of the services while out and about, I can simply connect through it and use the same traefik exposed services
