![[SOLVED] ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?](https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/1d84332e-92e8-4bad-bfdd-4c9fd08c3870.png){kind=link}
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?
P.S. Apparently, what I’ve tried on the router does work, it’s just that my NAS was sitting in the DMZ. Now it works!
Yes, I know where this feature is in the settings, but it’s got its own issues and I also turn the NAS off for the night, so it’s not an option for me.
Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.
Drives are somewhat noisy (even though I took fairly quiet ones) and I appreciate total silence at night. Unfortunately, I don’t have many places to put it outside my single room, so there’s that.
I’d love to move to SSDs for storage at some point (I know it’s controversial, but they would fit my use case better), but for now it’s too expensive for me.
Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.
then its not selfhosting.
In what way? It is a physical server located in my bedroom, sharing resources online.
Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine
Yep, sharing stuff for others requires more expertise, as I’ll get responsible for other people’s experience. If I screw something up now, only I will be affected.
And you are self-sufficient, or whatever the word is. But that’s the key thing for me, not having to rely on others for my services :)
