=== Host a static website generated with a static site generator ===

Deploy a website generated with a static site generator like Hugo. Try to automate the deployments using a CI/CD provider.

=== Host a website on your computer at your home ===

Install and configure packages on your computer so that you're able to visit a site on your computer.

=== Make your home-hosted website accessible from the internet ===

You might need to use port forwarding, dynamic DNS, etc. You might sometimes have to contact your ISP to get a static IP or take you out of NAT. As a last resort you might have to piggyback on a cloud server.

=== Host a website on a VPS ===

Get a VPS, and host your own website on it.

== Deployment ==

=== Deploy a PHP application ===

Deploy a simple php application that doesn't need a database. Something like [https://code.antopie.org/miraty/libreqr/ LibreQR]. You may have to figure out how to use [[PHP-FPM]] and proxy requests to it.

=== Deploy a more complicated PHP application ===

Deploy a slightly more complicated PHP application that requires database. Maybe [https://wordpress.org/ WordPress], or [https://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki]. You might have to figure out which database to use, how to create a database & user and connect the application to it.

=== Deploy a Python/NodeJS/Ruby application ===

Deploy a web application written in Python/NodeJS/Ruby. You might have to figure out how to reverse proxy to the application.

=== Deploy an Docker based application ===

You could choose an application that you've already installed without docker (like [https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress WordPress]) but this time deploy it using docker. You might have to learn about docker compose too.

== Maintenance ==

=== Backup an app with its database ===

Create a backup for the wordpress instance (including uploaded images, etc).

=== Restore an app from backup ===

See if your backup can be brought back online.

=== Migrate an app from one server to another ===

Move your app from one computer to another
