So, couple years ago i started to learn about tech, programming and self hosting services thanks to redditors ( not reddit the evil corp ), and found lots of communities where they pointed me to good resources but then ended up allocating more time to learning programming to switch career into that field and finally got it.

As a passion and private needs I had set up couple of small servers for testing, but never ended up being able to actually expose them publicly in a secure way

I found some "beginner level" tutorials, but to be honest, it still was quite hard to understand.

Where can I found even lower level resources or any chat group or discord group for literal illeterates like me??

I know i can do my own research as I did for programming, but that was for landing an actual job, this is mostly for personal need, so i really cannot allocate much time into studying so much while I also have family duties and improving my coding skill for the current job

Thanks a lot

Yeah setting up a reverse proxy can be confusing, I still struggle with it sometimes. You can get away without it, but when you have your basic setup working then it's great to have.

well...i failed yet again... xD
i was up until 2 am trying tweaking porkbun, cloudflare and nginx proxy manager...
Everything says it's up and running, but i keep getting
" Web server is down Error code 521 "
or
"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site."

Now am also late for work and only slept like 5 hours...
and what bugs me the most is that this is just the "testing " setup... when i'll finally get it working i'd have to do it all over again for the main services and private stuff :(
