I can tell you from past experience, learning to play the violin or fiddle is not something that can be learned online. Intonation is driven by training your ear to ear the correct intervals. Tuning with friction pegs is an art all it’s own, and bowing is something that takes a lot of time. A well set up instrument, a well-balanced bow, and a competent teacher are general requirements for the majority of new learners. The process has too many moving parts for general DIY.
While you don’t necessarily have to obsess over the bridge placement, you do have to be worried about the sound post (located inside the instrument) placement.
A lot of folks dabble in guitar with minimal effort, but dabbling in violin, well, it can be a bear.
