  • As a homelabber and systems admin, I would start with learning how to use Linux on the command line.

    It’s all well and good looking at docker, but if you don’t know how to move about or edit on the command line. Your going to get stuck real quick.

    Once your happy doing simple tasks on the command line, I would actually look at running something like wordpress on a pi or VPS. That will help you understand how to connect services together, and cement your basic command line knowledge.













  • Im not sure I understand your issue, DNS is the magic that allows you to goto home.somedomain.com and get a webpage. But you still need to give DNS the location of the server, much like the contacts in your phone.

    DDNS is how you have your home connection attached to a DNS record that is updated when the IP changes, see other comments.

    Also once you understand how it all hangs together, you can do some really cool magic to make getting to your services easier




  • What I can tell you, working for a company hosting data for the UK NHS.

    Is that hosting is easy, I have a very reliable homelab. I keep things up to date and make sure to secure things the best I can.

    But security is hard, there are many things to secure. Blind spots you didn’t even know you had.

    The bast way to look at security, it to start with secure and dial things back so that it works.
