I'm pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!
So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn't require much technical knowledge.
Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?
P.S. Apparently, what I've tried on the router does work, it's just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!
Honestly Cloudflare Tunnels could be a very simple way to do it. I've always had tremendous luck with it. By using CF you can let them do all the heavy lifting instead of hosting your own... as long as you trust them.
They are a plague with how prevalent they have become.
The internet shouldn’t put all its eggs into one basket.
It’s just another centralized entity which will lead to monopolized power. It goes against what we are trying to do with federated networks like Lemmy and mastodon.
I prefer to use products and services before inevitable enshittification, not after the curve. Refusing to use them won’t change their fate.
