Any guides on how to host at home? I’m always afraid that opening ports in my home router means taking the heavy risk of being hacked. Does using something like CloudFlare help? I am a complete beginner.

Edit: Thanks for all the great response! They are very helpful.

    The most secure one would be not opening anything out, and using Tailscale to VPN into your home network.

    If you want to open stuff, Cloudflare + letsEncrypt + good router/firewall will be a start.
