Self-Hosting with Docker & Linux: Run Your Own Services (Udemy.com)

Very good course! I have learned a lot of useful technologies regarding self-hosting, such as tailscale, tsdproxy, the home page dash board or getting a domain, which gives me the foundations of adding any service i need. My next step is to install nextcloud, or maybe an opensource email server. Although I would like to mention one thing that it can be improved, and that's why I score it with 4 stars. I t believe that it was a little bit tedious sometimes because many things were repeated over and over again, like reading the password or the tailscale IP or domain. Also some times explaining very basic things, like what is URL, which I believe that someone who takes this course I believe that should know them. I would prefer that in a way like explaining to a friend, which you already know the knowledge level of that person.

Jason's communication skills is very clear, easy to understand and follow. No hidden concepts or 'I should have known' surprises. Enjoying Jason's course. I am walking through this course with Jason's book as well. Together they help me when I lose my berrings as I did with Filebrowser. Thru that session, the video eventually stayed in buffering after several back-and-forth action by me and I could nolonger view that section of the course. No problems with the following sections. Both the book and the video course are very well presented by Jason. Excellent job and corse.

This is a great beginners course but needs to be updated as TSDProxy did not work for me, as of Jan 2026. I simply ignored that section after spending two hours trying to that docker image to work. I think that project is abandoned.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Before starting this course I had already began my self-hosting journey. I stumbled through setting up some dockers and tailscale on my NAS. What I was having trouble grasping was how to setup the TLS certificates for the services and this course covered that plus a lot more! Some have noted that the repetition bothered them, but I thought it was a great way to solidify the skills learned in the course. Thank you!

The course is really helpful. I was wandering around to properly configure my self hosted things with DNS, but none of the videos or GPT results were helping my just according to my need. But this course gave me the right knowledge and experience that I was lacking. I would recommend this course to any self-hoster.

course was very good and detailed. for future reference, i find that, adding a section, where how to configure with cloudflare where static ip is available. like a cloud vps. making hosted web apps public, while maintaining apps like portainer private on tailnet to manage hosting. how to make it secure also.

Jason, thank you. The transition from proprietary apps to self-hosting my own was so much smoother because of that course. I used to come back to your videos often but recently I finally created some docs to have an easy reference when I set up a new server, so I can put this course to rest, haha. I keep enrolling to your other courses and always find valuable takeaways!

The course was great. It would be really helpful if we could also have an example for finding and installing a new service. As mentioned yml files need configuration and it is difficult if you don't have experience with docker. apart from that I think it helped me to begin the journey of self hosting.

Not enough detail, especially about registering a domain. Tunnels are not fully explained, and the rest of the course could be more detailed and less repetitive. No alternatives were discussed in detail.

This course was exactly what I needed to kickstart my self-hosting journey.Jason Cannon guides you step by step in setting up self-hosting in an approachable way. The hands-on examples, especially with Tailscale, Portainer, and publishing services to your own domain, were super practical and easy to follow. I have been looking for ways to publish services without using port forwarding. If you're curious about hosting your own services, this course gives you the tools and confidence to do it. Definitely 5 stars from me
