Self-hosted Obico Server Guides

You don't need to be a programmer, or a superman, to self-host an Obico Server. However, the following skills are highly desired:

• A basic understanding on how Docker container works.
• Basic knowledge about Linux command lines. All Obico Docker containers are built from Linux images.
  • If you are hosting your Obico Server on a Window system, you will also need to know how to use Window commands or Windows PowerShell.
• A solid understanding on networking - IP addresses, port, routing, firewall, DNS, etc. Obico is an open-source project to connect all 3D Printers. So networking is at the core of the project.
