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!

    I will eventually!

    But for all I understand, it is to put many services on one machine, and I already have a NAS that is not going anywhere

      I’ve gone the other way. I used to run a Proxmox cluster, then someone gave me a Synology NAS. Now it’s rare that I spin up Proxmox and instead use a mix of VMs, containers and Synology/Synocommunity apps.

        Interesting!

        But I don’t want to mix it too much. I do have a Docker on it with just some essentials, but overall I’d like to keep NAS a storage unit and give the rest to a different server.

        I treat NAS as an essential service and the other server as a place to play around without pressure to screw anything
