Thank you so much! You’ve been incredibly helpful. I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a comprehensive guide with links to this many resources. I will read everything, and as soon as I’ve got something running I’ll update. (I’m not in a rush tho, so It might take a while)

Again, thank you so so so so so much! <3

You’re welcome. I tried to do basically the same thing a few years back (run a WordPress site from a RPi on my home network - and also a Minecraft server) and so I tried to write up the problems I ran into - I probably forgot some, but those are the major hurdles. I learned a lot along the way.

I should also point out that if you rent hosting space (from linode or inmotion or digitalocean or many other options) then problems 1 & 4 become much easier, and 2 & 3 go away entirely (most people don’t host public websites on their home networks because of these and other issues).

Happy to help. If you’re interested in learning networking more thoroughly, I want to point you to Professor Messer especially the Network+ content. He has far more complete explanations than I could write (and it’s free!). Even if you’re not interested in getting any certs, the explanations will be helpful.

  Thanks again! I just checked the material on Professor Messer and I think I’ll be taking the “Networking+” course per your recommendation and maybe the security one; after all, I’ll be hosting something publically on the internet.
  
  Also, when I’m done (and if you don’t mind) I’d like to add a small section as a tutorial of sorts, on how to accomplish this with the links and resources that you shared with me, so that other people can also do it.
