  • Then I would suggest you to take a look at Reverse Proxies, which are programs that let you publicly expose different services hosted on the same computer under different (sub)domains.

    The easiest to start with (and also probably the one that better fits your needs) afaik is NGINX Proxy Manager, which can be set up really easily using docker, and you can find plenty of tutorials online (here is one I watched when I was starting to look into docker and selfhosting, it’s a bit old but should still be valid).

    If after having set up that you will to thinker around it a little bit and dive a bit deeper, there’s also Traefik which is pretty cool and also has a lot of materials to learn online.

    I don’t remember if the video I linked mention it or not, but to use a reverse proxy to expose your services on the web you will first need to set up a dynamic dns (probably the easiest way is to use Cloudflare) or to ask your ISP for a static IP, then go into your routers settings and find the Port Forwarding section where you should tell your routers to send all the incoming traffic from ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the local IP of your server. And then you should be ready to use spin up Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik on your server.

    (idk if I was clear or not but I swear it’s easier that how it seems ahah)





















  • THANK YOU A LOT for the review! I was thinking about buying a Slimbook Executive (still undecided between 14” and 16” models) but I am a bit scared because it’s the first Linux laptop I’d buy (previously I was installing Linux myself on major brand hardware) and the amount of well written reviews I found online is not that big as I’m used to with major brands.

    Just a couple of questions, if you have time to answer them:

    1. what do you mean with “it gets gaming laptop hot”? Like that you just feel is warmer while charging or that it becomes uncomfortable to type on it / hold it on your lap? (Laptop getting uncomfortably hot is the main downside of the previous MSI laptop I owned, that’s why I’m worrying about it)
    2. did you ever felt you would have need a discrete GPU? Or did the integrated intel one always carried all the tasks you were doing as expected?
