Any non-tech-background self-hosters?

I assume most users here have some sort of tech/IT/software background. However, I've seen some comments of people who might not have that background (no problem with that) and I wonder if you are self-hosting anything, how did you decide that you would like to self-host?

Teacher here. No professional affiliation with PCs, Linux or self-hosting. Started out with a Synology NAS and got my first experiences with Linux, CLI, Docker, etc. Switched to Unraid last fall and I self-host quite a lot of services now. 100% self-taught.

I love unRAID so much. It's crazy how just a simple GUI can help solidify docker concepts.
