Hosting a website on a PinePhone, etc.

[TRS-80]

you gotta jump some hoops with verizon but it seems to be possible to get an APN with open ports / a public IP or at least some forwarding.

Nginx runs well, I'm hosting a static website on my pinephone *on 4G*

This is really interesting (and honestly, better than what I was expecting)!



So, now that it appears technically possible, the question becomes: do you want to / is that a good idea?  I must say, that Trbl's website loaded right away for me.  For a small static site, that's not getting much traffic yet, that might actually be perfectly fine.




In fact, playing around with self-hosting your own services is a really good way to learn GNU/Linux.  And here it appears you can do so with no further expenditure.




@Trbl,


Neat site by the way!  A little creepy.  But neat! 




@a-l,




I don't know where you purchased your domain name, or how much you paid, but for only a little more money you could have probably gotten an inexpensive shared hosting plan as well, which would probably even include stuff like email addresses, which can also be very handy to have.

P.S. Apologies for all the extra newlines, some times the forum software seems to do this (even though I removed them all multiple times), and I have not yet figured out what is causing it.
