Hello,

Some details would help.

Initial thoughts:

I have also set up a “home” server on my personal PC in the past.

Do you need a database like thingy to store some data and retrieve from your sketch when you need it?

If that is the case then you should look into [this](https://www.javatpoint.com/steps-to-connect-to-the-database-in-java)

I personally use [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) in my javascript projects. It has enough free features for a beginner. But you can find the [getting started page for JAVA here](https://www.mongodb.com/java). Hope it helps!
