Yeah, you can.

Lots of people use raspberry pi’s for this, which is a smidge anaemic for some decent load (HN Hug Of Death)- even an Intel N100 is more grunt, for context.

This makes people think that their self hosting setup can never handle HN load; because when they see people talking about self hosting the site goes down.



Most people shouldn't use a Pi because most people can't configure a web server securely. A VPS would be a better option for just about everybody trying to "self-host" whether they put Cloudflare in front of it or not.


in both cases you're setting up a webserver.

I guess you're concerned about lateral network movement? Justified, but as long as it's patched it's going to be just as secure.


You're right, but with an asterisk. I don't care if my DO droplet gets popped with an RCE. I do care if someone establishes persistence in my home.


You can have different networks in your physical home.


And?


Meaning your internal network and your publicly hosted services need to not to be in the same network.
