First steps for safely hosting a public site from home
A small website is needed so friends and family can see elopement details such as the date, registry, and pictures. The site may go beyond a basic wedding page by including blog-style updates and comments. Building the site itself feels manageable with help from AI.
The harder part is making the site reachable from outside the home network in a safe way. The first clear idea is to isolate the site inside its own Proxmox . A VLAN may also make sense, but the current es and Asus Zenwifi router may not properly support it.
Firewall rules may be another path, though they would require learning and setup. A spare Raspberry Pi 3B+ could host the site for physical separation, and has also been suggested.
