So, couple years ago i started to learn about tech, programming and self hosting services thanks to redditors ( not reddit the evil corp ), and found lots of communities where they pointed me to good resources but then ended up allocating more time to learning programming to switch career into that field and finally got it.

As a passion and private needs I had set up couple of small servers for testing, but never ended up being able to actually expose them publicly in a secure way

I found some “beginner level” tutorials, but to be honest, it still was quite hard to understand.

Where can I found even lower level resources or any chat group or discord group for literal illeterates like me??

I know i can do my own research as I did for programming, but that was for landing an actual job, this is mostly for personal need, so i really cannot allocate much time into studying so much while I also have family duties and improving my coding skill for the current job

Thanks a lot

    I too need to learn this but haven’t had the time. I’m currently exposing my public IP and forwarding some ports which I want to avoid. I believe Cloudfare tunnels and/or reverse proxy using nginx or something is the solution. I am much of a noob myself so I barely understand it all, have just managed with google searches, guides, and trial & error so far. Here’s a guide I found which I’ll be trying out soon and searching more in that direction - https://programmingpercy.tech/blog/free-secure-self-hosting-using-cloudflare-tunnels/

    I would love to know some good resources as well. I feel like in most cases I border on the line of knowing just enough to get myself into trouble.

    Cloudflare, reverse proxy, fail2ban, set up a vpn to access your local machines
