Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?

The synology NAS can act as a reverse proxy for stuff inside your network. I don't have mine in front of me, so you will have to google the steps, but basically you point the synology to an internal resource and tell it what external subdomain it should respond to.

Yes, I know where this feature is in the settings, but it’s got its own issues and I also turn the NAS off for the night, so it’s not an option for me.

then its not selfhosting.

In what way? It is a physical server located in my bedroom, sharing resources online.

Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine

Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.

Drives are somewhat noisy (even though I took fairly quiet ones) and I appreciate total silence at night.
I’d love to move to SSDs for storage at some point, but for now it’s too expensive.

Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.
