ampersandrew@lemmy.world 19 hours ago I’m not happy with Bazzite for this purpose. Its previous purpose was to be a game console, but I’m reassured by the recommendations for Debian.
Then use a GUI. The extra memory used is trivial and your system will be way over-powered for a reverse proxy to a home network anyway.
It will be more than just a reverse proxy, but I suspect it will still be more than powerful enough for the extras. Thanks.
Are you going to update frequently?
Yes, just so long as I’m the boss. I don’t want any downtime that I’m not in control of.
Your DNS servers would be the ones where you register your domain.
The tutorials I’d been looking at were showing them overriding the DNS servers at the domain registrar with servers from Cloudflare or elsewhere. Is that just because there may not be an automated way to update the IP dynamically with the domain registrar, but there is for Cloudflare?

Probably because those tutorials are using Cloudflare for DNS services. I actually use Amazon AWS Route53 for my domain (purchased through 123cheapdomains (yes - really)) and I update it through the AWS APIs with a small script.
But why use DNS service over another? Sorry if you’ve covered this already and it’s just not clicking yet or something.

Unless you have a specific need there is no reason. So long as the domain resolves then you’re probably good. I use AWS so I can easily update the IP since I have a dynamic IP address. Some may use Cloudflare because it’s necessary to use other services or because there’s a ‘free’ option or something? I’m really not sure - I’m not familiar with Cloudflare but I see lots of people using their low-end free services for things.
