Honestly.. I'm a rails and elixir dev with 10+ years building web apps (back end mostly). It's not about the tech. Just getting a self hosted "hello world" static html file on the internet is near impossible, because ISP's make it so.

I could spin up a docker and nginx, set up my router to allow port forwarding, but the ISP will stand in my way. Port 80 or port (8)433 won't come through.

No amount of tech on my raspberry-pie will let me self host.
