Comment on Building a slow web
interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 5 hours agoBuy the cheapest laptop you can find, with a broken screen it’s fine. Install debian 12 on it give it a memorable name, like “server” go to a DNS registrar of your choice, maybe “porkbun” and buy your internet DNS name for example “MyInternetWebsite.tv”, this will cost you 20$/30$ for the rest of your life, or until we finally abolish the DNS system to something less extortionnate Install webmin and then apache on it go to your router, give the laptop a static address in the DNS section Some router do no have the ability to apply a static dhcp lease to computers on your network, in that case it will be more complicated or you will have to buy a new one, one that preferably supports openwrt. then go to port forwarding and forward the ports 80 and 443 to the address of the static dhcp lease now use puttygen to create a private key, copy that public key to your linux laptop’s file called /root/.ssh/authorized_keys go to the webmin interface, which can be accessed with server.lan:10000 from any computer on your PC and setup dynamic dns, this will make the DNS record for MyInternetWebsite.tv change when the IP of your internet connection changes, which can happen at any time, but usually rarely does. But you have to, or else when it changes again, your website and email will stop working. Now go to your desktop computer, and download winsshfs, put in your private key and mount the folder /var/www/html/ to a drive letter like “T:” Now, whatever you put in T: , will be the content of your very own internet web server enjoy

While i appreciate the detailed response here i did make another comment letting OP know i’m in a similiar situation as them, i use Docker Engine & Docker Compose for my self-hosting needs on machine running Proxmox with a Debian 12 VM. My reverse proxy is traefik and i am able to receive SSL certificates on port :80/:443 (also have Fail2Ban setup) however, i can’t for the life of me figure out how to expose my containers to the internet.
On my iPhone over LTE/5G trying my domain leads to an “NSURLErrorDomain” and my research of this error doesn’t give me much clarity.
This is a snippet of my docker-compose.yml
