Host a Website On My Dell Power Edge 630

I have a used Dell Power Edge 630. I want to host a website with it. I want this website to accomplish the following tasks:

• Host my blog
• Host theoretically infinite Minecraft servers
• Host family media such as photos and videos

Ngrok Decision Rational

I hope to accomplish this using Ngrok. I have a free account with Ngrok linked with irifulmin@gmail.com. I want the website to be up and running at all times forever.

There is a worry about the limits of the free account. It limits Network Bandwidth to 1 GB.

Alternatives to Ngrok include:

• Hosting with Zrok
• Reserving domain on https://www.namecheap.com and repeatedly updating the IP address as Astound changes it
• Reserving domain on https://www.godaddy.com and repeatedly updating the IP address as Astound changes it

Zrok has limits similar to Ngrok

Reserving a domain and updating it as my dynamic IP address from Astound changes results in a large amount of down time due to not knowing when my IP address changes.

Thus, my decision is to use Ngrok's static domain name. I will somehow create a back-end that correctly routes incoming https requests to:

• Minecraft servers
• My personal website
• Family media content
• SSH control

Using Ngrok

I will run Ngrok with the command:

Windows:

".\ngrok.exe" http --domain=measured-oddly-crayfish.ngrok-free.app 3000

Linux:

./ngrok http --domain=measured-oddly-crayfish.ngrok-free.app 3000

SSH Control

I need to secure the server from hackers. I need to make sure that critical functions are not available remotly. I must only allow basic operations remotely. Anything not explicitly allowed must be prohibited. This philosophy is called "everything which is not allowed is forbidden".

Operations Allowed

• Minecraft Server Commands
• Family Media Files Creation
• Family Media Files Creation
