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.

    I have a lighter laptop that I could repurpose. It’s an ASUS with a celeron processor and 8GB of RAM.

    I would like it to be accessible. I don’t like Cloudflare. I need to check dyndns and learn more about it.

      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.
