I am making a series of blog posts about website and application hosting. There are many topics I'd like to talk about (IP, DNS, logs, linux settings). I am sharing here some knowledge and documenting for myself too.

This first post is not the most interesting in my opinion as this is talking about the basis : hardware and Linux distribution. I am not talking about non-Linux OS (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc). For the next one I will document way more commands and process to go through (iptable, fail2ban, logs on memory, etc).

I don't consider myself good at writing so any help is welcome, I try to put as many images/charts as possible but this one is tricky. Feedbacks are welcome.

I'd be interested in a networking section. My biggest hurdle in self-hosting is that my ISP uses CG/NAT, so no port forwarding. This has made even simple applications difficult to set up. It seems the easiest workaround is to set them up through a domain, which I've tried and had no luck with. A mix of not my forte and there being few straightforward guides.

I did attempt it a bit but I was having issues. Definitely the way I'm trying to go though!
