It will totally depend on the equipment you plan on using, but in general, your router's manual/documentation should say whether it supports Dynamic DNS, how to configure your firewall, and how to enable port forwarding.
From there, your device's operating system should have documentation on how to perform maintenance, and the web server software you plan on using should have guides on how to get it running on your OS of choice.
For example: If you want to host some websites on your device (or just want a nice web-based control panel for your "server"), do a fresh install of Debian 12 and then install something like Virtualmin or HestiaCP. Those two include various web apps that are easy to install and run with a few clicks, like a Wordpress or something.
