For the very first time i tried to selfhost a static site (lighttpd + duckdns) but I’ve failed… Is it even possible to selfhost a static site from “router 2” while i’m behind two routers? “Router 1” is from ISP and i have no possibility to change any settings except subnet, standard gateway, dhcp on/off and DMZ. -> no port forwarding. "Router 2 is Asus with port-forwarding available and i’m using an OpenVPN configuration on it (if that matters). DuckDNS could see the external ip from R2, but i couldn’t access it.
I use cloudflare tunnel for this purpose. No open ports, no dealing with ISP, no exposing my IP.
I would use cloudflare pages (or any forge ‘pages’ feature) before using tunnels for a static website
yet some people might want less america in their setup and try to avoid services like that.
Understandable. It’s compromise I’m ok with, so that’s why I mentioned this method.
While this is true, the reader is really the only one that can choose for themselves and Cloudflare is a valid option, even if it isn’t the most purist method available.
