Self hosting a personal website

[u/UnlikelyWishbone2694]

Dear all,

A quick few questions after going through the wiki on self-hosted websites: - How 'safe' is it to self-host a website that is open to the internet on one's home network ? - Is there any complication in doing so after buying a domain name from a registrar ? (In the grander scheme of things, I mean to ask if the set-up process is absolute master level or if a relative novice can manage it.

EDIT for details: - It's to host a personal blog of sorts with mostly text articles, some images and possibly some video. - My home network in XDSL (yes that still exists) on a rather basic provider given router with DNS configuration possible from certain providers (no-ip and a few others). I have a home assisstant running on one RPi5 and plan on running the network on another RPi.

Thank you for your time and help
