Is there an idiots guide to self hosting?

it is easy to use outside the network too. I use Yunohost for more than a 1 year

currently struggling to make use of zerotier to do that.

all the DNS stuff is like magic for me.

Did you take the route via a fixed IP and a bought domain?

Yunohost provides free domains (nohost.me, ynh.fr or noho.st) with Dynamic DNS, but i bought domain in Gandi. I use this simple script https://github.com/cichy1173/yunoDnsUpdater to update DNS if IP changes. I am thinking about buying fixed IP, but it is additional cost every month.

yes I know about the domains but port forwarding at my router is yet to be impossible for me. also I am unsure if I am ready to open my network to the outside yet.

do you rely on the built in safety measures or do you have additional security measures implemented?
