Comment on Got any security advice for setting up a locally hosted website/external service?

No need to cargo-cult security practices here, chief. You’re not gonna get pwned by publishing your hardware specs. If you’re planning to build some kinda webapp for yourself, that’s a different story - but you have to fuck up hard to get hacked while hosting raw HTML.
Use an SSH key, disable password auth, make sure you’re firewalled, and call it a day.

Thanks for the input! I do eventually plan on making some scripts and a custom web interface to interact with/expose some local services on my network once I have the basics of HTML covered so would like to cover my ass early and not have problems later

The most important thing is to use your common sense, think about it an extra minute before punching holes in your fw, and keep those holes documented and to a minimum.
