Hmm, I don't have a problem self-hosting from home. Here's my setup:
1.) Cable (DOCSIS 3.0) Internet connection with a dynamic IPv4 address.
2.) Registered domain(s)
3.) Domain hosted via Dyn.org (for quick updates in the event my IP changes)
4.) Linux-based firewall/router that runs ddclient (to update the public DNS records should my IP change, which is very rarely)
5.) All port 80/443 traffic is forwarded to an LXD container running nginx as a reverse-proxy, where TLS encryption/decryption is handled
6.) Unencrypted HTTP traffic is then forwarded off to whichever LXD container is hosting the actual site
Unless my Internet connection actually goes down (which is rare thanks to a good provider and everything being on a UPS), the site stays up.
Hope this helps!
- mft_ 4y agoIt sounds wonderful, but doesn’t sound (to borrow the author’s phrase) ‘turnkey’. And certainly not on a Raspberry Pi running Linux - it sounds like a day of frustration, trial-and-error, and many many google searches! I would pay good money for (let’s say) a Pi with all of the hard work done - just plug it in to your router and it’s already serving pages online. Edit: also, dyn.org doesn’t seem to exist?
