====== Hosting Web Infrastructure for Others =====

Iterative guide for developers who want to host web infrastructure for their communities using what they have.

> //Start simple, iterate, and build up from there.//

===== Overview =====

This guide takes an iterative approach to hosting web infrastructure. We start with what you have available and build up capabilities step by step. Many services don't require powerful hardware, and you can get started with minimal investment.

===== Getting Started =====

Follow these steps in order to build your hosting infrastructure:

- [[hosting:hardware:start|Hardware - Use What You Have]]
  - [[hosting:networking:start|Port Forwarding and Networking]]
  - [[hosting:domain:start|Domain Setup]]
  - [[hosting:docker:start|Docker Installation]]
  - [[hosting:caddy:start|Caddy Reverse Proxy]]

===== Principles =====

Each step builds on the previous one. Complete them in order, but you can revisit steps as your needs grow.
