I’ve been dabbling with selfhosting for a bit now (home assistant and nextcloud), but it’s clear that I lack a fundamental understanding of networking. For example:

  • I’ve got OpenWRT on my router, but no idea what I’m doing when it comes to firewall settings, DNS, DHCP, etc.
  • I’ve got a domain thru Porkbun, but no idea how to properly setup my DNS settings there to route to my local machine.
  • I’ve got NGINX running in a docker container in a VM and can get to the UI on my local network, but no idea what I’m doing wrong with my attempts at a reverse proxy.

Does anyone here have links to a good in-depth tutorial series for learning about securely selfhosting?

    @theit8514 @anticonnor I tried to watch one of his videos (it was 20 minutes ) after the first two minutes in before he actually provided any facts. I think it got a bit better. But in terms of starting out with selfhosting I’m not sure where I would start in his videos.
