I’m writing my own novice guide to setting up a home server, the stuff I wish I’d been told when I started. Would love feedback from beginners on how useful this is, as well as feedback from veteran self-hosters on how accurate this is, and I welcome suggestions from anyone about what I should add next.
update: tweaked the introduction a bit, corrected title to match header, added note about podman-compose v1.0.6 incompatibility.
update: major update, v0.9.2 here
I would like a very small segment on IPv4, the implications of NAT and why NAT reflection should be turned on- why uPnP should never be turned on in residential networks and only if you know what you’re doing in any other networks, and maybe how IPv6 solves some of these issues.
These are the issues I’ve struggled with. Even now I curse under my breath whenever I have to deal with NAT.
updated post here, includes section on networking! let me know if this looks good? https://lemmy.world/post/2444639
Your page links 404 out, but if you reduce it to https://klay.gay/self-host/ it works and shows v.0.9.2 so you may want to edit your post. :)
ah, thank you! it’s actually been long enough that I created a new post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2444639
