I want to host my website in my raspberry pi, I’ve read that I would need a web server software for this. Which one do you recommend? It won’t be a complex website.

Hosting personal websites on your own hardware is such a pain, and I would imaging doing it on a rpi would be even more of a pain than on x86 architecture. If at all an option I’d recommend hosting on something like github pages or better still on a VPS.
Well thanks, I guess. But do you have a recommendation? I’m sure a simple website won’t cause any problems on a raspberry pi.
The main issue is not the website itself, but opening your network to be reachable from the internet in a safe way.
and sometimes you literally can’t. see CG-NAT, something my ISP is doing, so fuck me right.
Yeah CGNAT makes things a pain in the ass but it’s not a show stopper. Get a cheapie cloud VPS and install NGINX Proxy Manager (NPM) on it. Then do a WireGuard tunnel between your server and the cloud VPS. Problem solved. Or you could use Cloudflare tunnels but I wouldn’t recommend that.

@railsdev @innercitadel Do you not write your web apps in assembler…?
Ah OK, I might have assumed wrong then that running a server on ARM is a little trickier. Never done it. Only ever used nginx for my websites on my VPS. Don’t want to deal with the security and uptime headaches of running my websites on my home server.
I was a bit nervous about this too but I just set up a kbin instance on ARM (nginx, php, postgres, redis, and more) and didn’t notice any difference. Totally straightforward. And the VPS costs half as much as the x86 equivalent from the same host.
Oh wow genuinely interesting. Thanks, I’ve learned something. I had the wrong impression.
