Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

For the site itself the most minimal thing you can do is an html file.
Then some software to act as the "server" that serves that file to a visitor. (nginx, caddy, apache - there are many options).
And your domain needs a domain record which points to your server.
As you want to use a home pc, you need to figure out whether your ISP gives you a dynamic or static IP.
If static, you can just use that.
If dynamic, you'd need some service like dynDNS to keep pointing your domain to your changing IP.
Thank you! I'll do some digging around, I think these concepts are enough to get me started
