Hello everyone New to Linux, new to self hosting, and struggling a bit but making progress.
I have two questions: 1 Is there a YouTube channel or a website with tutorials and explanations for the dummies like me? Something eli5 with easy words to start with and understand the basics.
2 I see a lot about nginx and reverse proxy and not sure I need it. I want to run a couple apps on my local network to be able to access it on any computer inside the house and, for now, nowhere else. Do I need nginx? What about port security? I’m worried my lack of understanding regarding ports would make my home network vulnerable. But since for now I only use 192.168.1 , i’d say I’m safe from intruders?
I acknowledge it’s all surely basic but I’m not sure where to find a comprehensive source of learning instead of googling bits and pieces.
Thanks
on linux it is probably easier to setup podman nowadays with Podman Desktop and being easily available in most repositories while Docker never released their Desktop app on Linux
on anything else Docker is the least path of resistence currently but who knows if they fuck up again in the future
