So, couple years ago i started to learn about tech, programming and self hosting services thanks to redditors ( not reddit the evil corp ), and found lots of communities where they pointed me to good resources but then ended up allocating more time to learning programming to switch career into that field and finally got it.

As a passion and private needs I had set up couple of small servers for testing, but never ended up being able to actually expose them publicly in a secure way

I found some "beginner level" tutorials, but to be honest, it still was quite hard to understand.

Where can I found even lower level resources or any chat group or discord group for literal illeterates like me??

I know i can do my own research as I did for programming, but that was for landing an actual job, this is mostly for personal need, so i really cannot allocate much time into studying so much while I also have family duties and improving my coding skill for the current job

Thanks a lot

welp... i go to fail this too... xD

read the documentation you listed
dug around the official docs setting up and getting informed beforehand

I read about testing to the staging letsencrypt api, but then forgot to add that

ran the container, it failed to get ssl certificates, but it blocked me in less than 20 seconds

I then changed some configs, since i was testing different ways of how it might work, but even after switching to the staging api for letsencrypt, i still receive logs saying it is refused and on timeout

i just might be cursed
