7 months ago- I want it to be internet accessible. A friend taught me how to use nginx for the local network, although I’ve forgotten that now.
- My previously mentioned computers are computers I don’t use that much, especially the old laptop. My main computer is a 2021 ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition. I won’t be hosting from that.
- Private networking is just hosting over a LAN, right?
- Does Docker work well on old hardware and is Docker easy to learn?
- I have the most knowledge on Ubuntu based distros. I don’t think Manjaro, a bleeding edge rolling distro, is good for hosting.
- How do I use let’s encrypt or something to boost my security?
Maybe I should just cloud host, as it costs the same as a VPN. But then again, a VPN will also protect my privacy. Do I need to use let’s encrypt if I use a VPN or cloud host if I want to be secure?
