How would I even host a website at home? 20 years ago I knew how to get a fixed IP from my local ISP but I don't know how to do that anymore.

- pletsch 5y agoReverse proxy with a dynamic DNS server (DuckDNS for example)
- karmanyaahm 5y agoYou can use dynamic DNS if the IP address you're getting is a public one.
- Gigachad 5y agoThere are also services which you can get a reserved IP with all ports open, and then you wire guard tunnel it to your server.
- lucb1e 5y agoGive them a call? Or switch ISP if yours doesn't allow it. Otherwise you need a relay service, at which point you might as well host with them directly.
- okareaman 5y agoI'm in a weird situation, hence my confusion. I live next door to an Xfinity hotspot. I signed up with Xfinity so they sent me a modem. I couldn't get it to work, but I found I could just use the hotspot. It works great but it serves potentially thousands of users so it's not personal to me.
- lucb1e 5y agoThat's an interesting situation indeed! Hosting a service on there might be rather tricky but if you do get support to punch through the CGNAT on it (I presume they use that) it will be even funnier :D
- a9h74j 5y agoA recent post on HN mentioned use of a Cloudfare tunnel. Apparently that allows for self-hosting behind a router with no incoming ports needing to be opened. https://eevans.co/blog/garage/ https://eevans.co/blog/garage/
