I have an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that is currently not being used. Would that be good? Overkill? Under powered?
I use Debian for my main distro for my personal laptop. Would that be good? Should I have stable or a rolling release?
Is there anything special that I need to do on my home network setup? Create a DMZ perhaps?
This is my first self hosted project, so any information or advice is appreciated.
First you need to check if your ISP gives you a public IP (can be temporary, if you are fine with using dyndns). Otherwise you will need some tunneling service or run such yourself from a VPS.
I’ll have to look into that. I’m lucky to live in an area with a municipal utility co-op.
