Hi everyone,
I’m working on a passion project to make a basic video recording system for my house and I’d like to make it from scratch (as much as I can that is). The goal behind this approach is to learn as much as possible. I don’t have a strict deadline when I need to finish it and I’ll be updating things as I go.
While I have a couple of years in the software development field, but when it comes to setting up infrastructure and hosting I’m a total noob. With this post I’d like to ask the community how I could get started.
What I (think) I need:
- Security setup
- Some server to host my backend/frontend.
- Some kind of database + video storage solution
- Network setup possibly to be able to view my feeds from anywhere
How would you guys recommend I tackle these things, what are the best practices and potential traps noobies fall into (especially when it comes to security and networking)?
I look forward to your comments and suggestions!
