I’m pretty new to selfhosting and homelabs, and I would appreciate a simple-worded explanation here. Details are always welcome!

So, I have a home network with a dynamic external IP address. I already have my Synology NAS exposed to the Internet with DDNS - this was done using the interface, so didn’t require much technical knowledge.

Now, I would like to add another server (currently testing with Raspberry Pi) in the same LAN that would also be externally reachable, either through a subdomain (preferable), or through specific ports. How do I go about it?

    Router gets the public IP. Login to it, find port forwarding option. You’ll pick a public port. IE 443 and forward it to a local IP:port combo, IE 192.168.0.101:443.

    Then you can pick another public port and forward it to a different private IP:port combo.

    If you want a subdomain, you forward one port to one host and have it do the work. IE configure Nginx to do whatever you want.

    EDIT: or you use IPv6. Everything is a public IP.
