It shouldn’t take you days to get set up. And even if someone helps you set it up, you will need to maintain it and keep it updated, which is essentially the same kind of knowledge. So it’s not a bad idea to start getting your feet wet as soon as you can.

I’ll tell you what. I’m willing to lend a hand for free - right here on the forum. Maybe some others can jump in. Reply to this message or PM me with some windows of time that work for you later in the day/evening (North American time zones).
