  AFAIU bluehost does not support the acme protocol, so you’ll either have to manage your certificate manually or (recommended!) move to a different dns registrar.

  If you are wondering which provider you should switch to, basically all the serious ones will work… IDK if this is relevant for nginx, but here’s a list of the supported ones for the client I use go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/

  If you are unsure and want to experiment before touching your current setup, you could register a new cheap domain (less than 1$, see tld-list.com), use it for your tests, and then not renew it.

  Not sure if others already said this (I seem to see mostly comments explaining how to do it, but didn’t read them all), but, while it’s certainly feasible, you may not want to do that.

  A router is the cornerstone of your network (if it goes down, so does the network) and if you are a self-hoster you’ll probably fiddle endlessly with your home server, and of course break it from time to time… the two things just don’t go well together.

  Personally, I’d recommend getting some second-hand router appliance that can run openwrt and use that (make sure to check the flashing procedure before deciding what to buy - some are easier than others). Or you could get a dedicated x86 machine… probably overkill though.
