I go camping with my girlfriend during winter solstice. We started going a couple of years ago and kept doing it, now it's something of a tradition.

Me too! Sometimes I forget that I can participate in the discussion and even post cool stuff I'm doing. After all, that's the whole point of this kind of community.

Ok, it's me again. I've been checking the sampled logs on my cloudflare website and I've noticed some very particular requests:

Some context: I'm hosting my own static website (a personal blog) at home and serving it to the internet through a Cloudflare tunnel.

Upon inspecting them it seems like they are bots and web-crawlers trying to access directories and files that don't exist on my server, (since I'm not using wordpress). While I don't really have any credentials or anything to lose on my website and these attacks are harmless so far, this is kinda scary.

Should I worry? Is this normal internet behaviour? Should I expect even worse kinds of attacks? What can I do to improve security on my website and try to block these kinds of requests/attacks?

I'm still a noob, so this is a good opportunity for learning.

Thanks

So, I've been trying to accomplish this for a while. First I posted asking for help getting started, then I posted about trying to open ports on my router. Now, I proudly post about being able to show the world (for the first time ever) my abysmal lack of css and html skills.

I would like to thank everyone in this community, specially to those who took the time to answer my n00b questions. If you'd like to see it, it will be available at: https://kazuchijou.com/

(Beware however, for you might cringe into oblivion and back.)

Since this website is hosted on my desktop computer, there will be some down-time here and then, however I'll leave it on for the next 48 hours (rip electricity bill) only for you guys to see. <3


Now, there are a couple of things that need addressing:

I set it up as a cloudflare tunnel and linked it to my domain. However, I still don't know any docker at all (despite using it for the tunnel), and the process was too incredibly and stupidly easy. I don't think I learned as much as I expected and I didn't feel challenged at all.

The original idea was to do some port forwarding. (This was foolish and a bit of a waste of time). Despite getting a "public-ip-address" from my ISP, I still was unable to open ports successfully. I kept getting the same error again and again. If you'd like to read my original post about port forwarding you may follow this link: "[Solved] ((lie)) Noob stuck on port-forwarding wile trying to host own raw-html website. Pls help".

While I know doing this represents a security risk, I still wanted to at least have a small success with port forwarding. I just wanted to have the raw-internet-connection experience, you know? like, the basics and such. And Cloudflare is holding my hand way too hard, I want to feel like I can shoot myself in the foot (without actually doing so)

But to be honest, I'm quite happy with the outcome. There are many other avenues I'd like to explore in the future, like setting up a reverse proxy with nginx or even darknet hosting (as sugested by another commentor).

I hope to keep learning and some day help another poor soul like myself in a similar situation. I thank you again guys, you're the best.

[TL;DR] This is the best and most helpful community ever! thx <3

Edit: Solution

Yeah, thanks to u/postnataldrip@lemmy.world I contacted my ISP and found out that in fact they were blocking my port forwarding capabilities. I gave them a call and I had to pay for a public IP address plan and now it's just a matter of testing again. Thank you very much to everyone involved. I love you. It was Megacable by the way. If anyone from my country ever encounters the same problem I hope this post is useful to you.

Here's the original post:

Hey!

Ok, so I'm trying to figure this internet thing out. I may be stupid, but I want to learn.

So, what I'm essentially doing is trying to host my own raw html website on my own hardware and get it out to the internet for everyone to see (temporarily of course, I don't want to get in trouble with hackers and bots) I just want to cross that out of my bucket list.

What I've done so far:

  • I set up a qemu/kvm virtual machine with debian as my server
  • I configured a bridge so that it's available to my local network
  • I got my raw html document
  • I'm serving it locally with nginx
  • I tried to set up port forwarding (I get stuck here)

Right now everyone in my home can see my ugly website if they go to 192.168.1.114:8080 (since I'm serving it through port 8080).

However, I want to be able to go outside (I'm testing it with my mobile network using mobile data) to see my website.

I've configured port forwarding on my ZTE router (ISP-issued) with the following parameters:

But now, if I search for my public IP address on my phone I don't get anything. Even if I go to my.public.ip.address:8080 (did you think I was gon-give you my public ip?)

I don't get anything. I've tried ping and curl. ping doesn´t even transmit the packages, curl says "Could not connect to server".

So, If you guys would be so kind as to point me in the right direction, I pose the following questions :

  • How do I even diagnose this?
  • What am I missing?
  • Am I being too stupid?
  • What do I do now?

(Here's a preview of my ugly website)

I also own a domain (with cloudflare) so, next step is getting that set-up with a DNS or something.

Thank youuuuuuu <3

Sometimes I'm appalled by humanity forgetting how to make cool stuff that they could do in antiquity and then had to re-discover it, like roman glass, concrete, etc. And then I come across stuff like this and it all makes perfect sense.

Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It's got worse since then

The title, worded like that, sounds like some brave man waving a sword at a mighty dragon...

Upon reading the article the situation is more like a bafoon waving a toothpick at an elder god

In spanish "pene" is masculine. However "una pene" (fem) is a much more interesting concept. Even more if we throw in some diminutives. "una penesita"

I actually jokingly call dicks "pussos" with my girlfriend in spanish.

If things keep going like this I guess I'll abandon Youtube completely. How brighter my life will be

Hello fellow lemmings! As mentioned in the title, I'm barely just getting started with the self hosting thing and such.

I have a small personal project for which I'd like to self host my own "ugly-90's-HTML" blog (I just love the look and feel you know).

I've got a desktop machine that I could use as a server, and I also just purchased my own domain from cloudflare (for commitment), but I'm a bit stuck on the actual "putting-my-stuff-online" thing and I don't want to do anything stupid.

I know there's a lot of learning I still need to do, but that's the reason I'm starting this project. Any help would be welcomed.

I have 3 cents of basic networking knowledge (I made my own Ethernet cable conection to my gateway :D); I'm using a linux distro as my main desktop; I have created an ssh tunnel with cloudflare so far, and I'm following a little html+css tutorial. The thing is, I've found so many different ways of putting things online, I'm a bit dizzy. I would like something that will teach me the fundamentals without holding my hand too much (a la "next, next, next, confirm, finish"), you know? I mean, I'm learning by essentially making a 90's website... So, yeah.

Thanks in advance <3

[TL;DR] Me want make 90's website, don't know how

You could try 15 FPS and I bet it would look exactly the same, this industry is just rotten. The insatiable search for higher and higher FPS counts is just nonsensical smh
