How do you guys self host?
How do you guys self host?
I've been doing small hosting off and on for a while. Mainly for accessing files at home and the occasional Minecraft server. Not smart, as I've never used a specialized router. I used to use ddwrt, but now it's impossible to flash most consumer grade routers.
id like to learn more stuff about cyber security, host other stuff, maybe host a website, but I'm just a guy who lives in an apartment. I'm stuck with 1 Internet service that claims it will terminate my service if they find me to be hosting anything. They must be semi-lax with that rule, because i haven't gotten terminated for using ssh and cockpit.
Do you guys own a house, or are just fortunate enough to have access to an ISP that will let you host your own stuff?

Personally, I'm very lucky with my isp. I have gigabit fiber to my door and they charge me 10$ extra per month for a public IP and to be taken off of thier firewall (I also have to promise that I'm running my own firewall and traffic monitor, but that's not a hard promise to keep considering it's basic security).
I'm just getting back in to self hosting after years of IT work beating that hobby out of me, but my plan is to add a few hosts to my domain so I can share my photography and maybe a jellyfin instance for when I'm traveling for work.
After my workplace switched to HP I have a bunch of Lenovo m900s in storage so I figured that would be a good base to begin building my homelab back up.
