Okay so if I wanted to have A Website on my desk, what would be an easy way to do that? Some tiny Linux box running whatever, serving files on a port. How can I get DNS pointing to it?

@nk you need a static ip or dynamic dns to point to your router and from there port-forward to your Linux box.

@janl one of those sounds expensive and the other sounds complicated. Will explore these directions thank you!

@janl I’ll keep you posted as I go! Was hoping for “something something wireguard does this easy and free!” But it’s not clear to me how that’s actually possible

@nk wire guard can help if you have publicly reachable server on the internet.

@nk tailscale does it. IIRC not for free, but very easily.
