Setting up and maintaining the services is one thing. But as soon as you get actual users and want to offer them a good experience, there’s a lot of additional work: writing guides, answering support mails, announce maintenance downtimes before they happen, etc etc. You can start with an old computer in your basement, but maybe the Internet connection is too bad? Are you aware of and equipped against legal risks etc?
There’s more groups like disroot and I think some are looking for volunteers, maybe help them out to see how stuff works before starting over?
Here’s some of the top of my head (all in or around Germany to my knowledge):
- riseup
- pub.solar
- systemausfall
- systemli
