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?

I know there may be some which are better for various reasons, but look into nginx proxy manager to get those resources behind some URLs with SSL. I like it because it's got a pretty easy to use web interface, but I know similar things can be accomplished with traefik and like a 3 line per service yaml file. I use NPM and a pihole for DNS to point to the NPM server, and it's great for me, including automatic cert rotation with LetsEncrypt.
