Server Setup Basics for Self Hosting
I recommend checking out [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), which replaces both Nginx and Certbot in this setup.
[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) can remove the need to open port 22 to the world, but I wouldn't rely on it unless your VPS provider has a way to access the server console in case of configuration mistakes.

Show HN: Plain Vanilla – a tutorial website for vanilla web development
Caddy [1] can act as a static file server that will default to HTTP 2 if all parties support it. No configuration required.
If you allow UDP connections in your firewall, it will upgrade to HTTP 3 automagically as well.
I highly recommend it

Web-server X Load Balancers
After testing the dockerization, the next thing to work on was the Load Balancer. There are a number of tools to choose from, but I chose to work with Caddy

Ask HN: Is there any software you only made for your own use but nobody else?
It's a glorified local setup, running in a cloud free tier.
- Oracle Cloud Free Tier[1] for a Ubuntu VPS (4 ARM cores, 24 GB RAM). Surprisingly pleasant and reliable, given who's offering and for how much ($0). It used to be a FreeBSD VPS on DigitalOcean, until they kept screwing up their FreeBSD support and bricking my machines.
- Caddy[2] web server with Let's Encrypt certificates, working as reverse proxy.
- A Go server for HTTP (static files, uploads, maintaining server-sent-event channels).
- A Python server for the widgets, communicating with the Go server via events exchanged in a socket.
- Source code edited manually in-place (SSH or SSHFS[3], with Git) and restarted as needed. I know, I know, awful practice. But as I'm the only user, uptime during development is not a concern.
- Startup is handled by a @reboot cronjob and a bash one liner.
- Text files for "structured storage" (RSS feed items, authenticated sessions, mapping of uploaded file names).
As horrible as it might all sound, it has survived ten years and two cloud vendors. Nowadays I might containerize it, or rewrite as one Rust server, but I think I made the right choices at the time.
8/10 given the unusual requirements.

How I use Devbox in my Elm projects
These projects use Caddy as my local development server, Dart Sass for converting my Sass files to CSS, elm, elm-format, elm-optimize-level-2, elm-review, elm-test (only in Calculator), ShellCheck to find bugs in my shell scripts, and Terser to mangle and compress JavaScript code.

Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator?
No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...
If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

HTTP/2 Continuation Flood: Technical Details
I think that recompiling with upgraded Go will not solve the issue. It seems Caddy imports `golang.org/x/net/http2` and pins it to v0.22.0 which is vulnerable: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/6219#issuecommen....

Show HN: Nano-web, a low latency one binary webserver designed for serving SPAs
Caddy [1] is a single binary. It is not minimal, but the size difference is barely noticeable.
serve also comes to mind. If you have node installed, `npx serve .` does exactly that.
There are a few go projects that fit your description, none of them very popular, probably because they end up being a 20-line wrapper around http frameworks just like this one.
