It did take some persuading. I think the main reason I was able to pull it off was ironically because they're not that technical. I bet most of my friends don't even know what Slack or Discord is.

Is there a blog post that I can read about homeserver setup? I am keen on seeing how easy it was, and keen on seeing what level of technical and financial resources you had to invest to get going.
