It costs money
You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.
old laptop in you closet is free forever
But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?
my isp doesn't assign me an ipv4 and i have a dynamic ipv6 prefix, I'm hosting stuff over ipv6 just fine with dynamic prefix (i even have a ipv4 proxy set up, but it doesn't see much use), just need to update it like every week in dns records (automatically of course)
You just update DNS entry if your ip changes (automatically over api ofc)
I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they'd probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.
The hosting company would refer LEO to the person renting the server. The hosting company would be a target of LEO in such a case only if they refused to cooperate.
