I'd recommend, unfortunately, buying a cheap $200 netbook and running cloudflare tunnel on it. As long as you're relying on other people's computers for hosting you'll keep looking forever

My vote for doing this is to get a second hand Lenovo/HP/Dell mini pc.

They're cheap (thanks to corporate upgrade cycles and the sheer number of "obsolete" models that are out there on eBay et al.), quiet, reliable, low power consumption, and generally pretty capable for the money.

There's some irony here.

The Cloudflare dependency is for networking, not hosting. It would be very impressive to see a self-hosted service available over the internet without introducing a 3rd-party dependency or two.

I'm only suggesting it because calling my ISP and asking for a static IP + an open port is a hassle. It's only a way to forward ports

That's nearly 20 years of lowendbox provider annual payments for what this guy is asking for.

Or even more years of GCP/OCI free tier VMs.
