  • I’ll let folks with more security experience dive into your specific question, but another option is to host your website on something like Github pages (using a static website generator like Jekyll) and point Cloudflare at it. That way you don’t need anything pointed at your local network, get the uptime of Github, and still benefit from your own domain name.

    That’s what I’m doing with my own blog and it’s been great. Github provides the service for free but if they ever charge for it I’ll just start hosting it locally.













  • For reducing power consumption (and thus heat), a simple improvement could be just switching to a headless Linux install instead of Windows. It’ll run much more efficiently for homelab workloads.

    Since you already have a UDM, I’d suggest just a simple port forward to expose your Minecraft server to the public internet. Yes, it will expose you to risk of attack by having anything public from your network, but as long as you keep your Minecraft server up to date you should stay covered security-wise pretty well. I’d suggest setting up a cronjob to restart the Minecraft server and check for updates every 24hr to make sure you’re always up to date.
