I know this is old... but may be worth investing in a ~$10/month VPS
like Linode or DigitalOcean. There's also a free tier with AWS EC2, but
would suggest a server with at least 2 vCPU and 2GB ram. There are
other options out there as well. For email, I would suggest an outbound
relay like
I've been running via Docker myself, which has worked well, but can
install directly very easily
Also worth mentioning is that you can use the Remote-SSH extension in VS
Code, and edit on the remote server pretty transparently. It would be
Linux, which means a slightly harder path to local dos doors, but likely
still worth it.
My first steps on the VPS (or any linux server) are:
- move native SSH port (reboot)
- upload my public key login (automatic if you add one via DigitalOcean)
- disable password login
- setup UFW (firewall), enable new SSH port and enable firewall
With this working, will then start to setup Services etc.
