Something with 1-click installs like TrueNAS can help quite a bit. It's still something that requires active involvement from the operator to do well though. If you're self hosting, it's like DIY construction, if something falls down ... you can't sue your contractor/nobody's going to make you whole again except yourself.

There's also the networking side of things. I just wrote up some thoughts on that as well... https://alexandrite.app/social.packetloss.gg/comment/1821545

Things like ZeroTier/TailScale/Nebula can make this monumentally more approachable and safer. It's still far from for everyone though.
