You’ll need something to actually host the site. I usually stick with nginx but that’s just preference. Once you get that running you can edit files for the site & start looking into some guides or tutorials for nginx.

I don’t recommend putting your site on the general internet. It’s just going to be attacked & can compromise your network. I have local web services but use a WireGuard VPN setup so that I can access when I’m not home, & not allow access to the internet.

I don’t think it will have everything you’re looking for, but I really like DailyTxT. I do have a couple other note-taking apps & seeing if I want to replace DailyTxT with Obsidian, but I like the web-hosted & straight-forwardness of DailyTxT.

Another response for “VPN”. I don’t have any of my self-hosted services exposed publicly & use WireGuard with the on-demand settings so that whenever I’m not at my house, I am automatically connected.

Some users did mention that things like TV’s, etc outside your network wouldn’t be able to connect, but that hasn’t been an issue for me, since I don’t use my services like that.

It’s still the primaries where the candidate for the parties are being picked. trump is part of the republican party but is likely to receive the nomination because apparently we learned nothing during the four years this trash ran the country, took foreign money, insurrection, treason, etc.
