I plan on buying a single-board computer, probably an Olimex board, to self-host on (starting with Nextcloud). Where should I begin after buying the board? Also, is there anything I need to buy alongside the board (like an SD card or a 5V charger) to use it?
Hi @swiftestcat, sorry for the delay.
Yes, you need to buy an SD card and charger. You’re probably better off having a look at
as it provides the whole kit.
If you bought a pre-installed SDCard, boot it, otherwise you must start with burning an OS to that card. Olimex also has documentation for this:

Then of course you must install Nextcloud. Either refer to nextcloud documentation or YUNoHost documentation.
Enjoy and report!
