I'm interested in setting up a misskey instance, and have questions.

I have an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that is currently not being used. Would that be good? Overkill? Under powered?

I use Debian for my main distro for my personal laptop. Would that be good? Should I have stable or a rolling release?

Is there anything special that I need to do on my home network setup? Create a DMZ perhaps?

This is my first self hosted project, so any information or advice is appreciated.

The laptop is super overkill for just misskey.

Debian is good.

Extra info needed. Do you want it to be accessible through a public domain?

  I have a lighter laptop that I could repurpose. It’s an ASUS with a celeron processor and 8GB of RAM.
  
  I would like it to be accessible. I don’t like Cloudflare. I need to check dyndns and learn more about it.

    First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.

Which fork?

  I was reading the instructions for installation on the official misskey web site.
  
  Is there a better fork?

    joinsharkey.org seems to be the only one that survived so far.

    Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that’s the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They’ll be frank
