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.
Which fork?
I was reading the instructions for installation on the official misskey web site.
Is there a better fork?
Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that’s the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They’ll be frank
I think iceshrimp might be another one?
I thought iceshrimp has arisen from the ashes of firefish.
I swear the misskey fork lore must be hundreds of pages long by now.
https://joinsharkey.org/ seems to be the only one that survived so far.

The laptop is super overkill for just misskey.

Debian is good.

Do you want it to be accessible through a public domain? If so, how - there are many options, like cloudflare tunnels or dyndns.
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.
