Again, that domain is already in use. If you want to use an unregistered domain on your LAN, pick something with a .lan suffix (or another suffix that is not used on the internet). If you want to use a domain name on the internet, you need to register one. There are a lot of good reasons to own your own domain name (such as freeing yourself from being held captive by your ISP, by having your own email address that you can host anywhere), so if you can think of a good one, register it. > The base server will be having selinux/firewall/etc... > > Given that I've never touched selinux, and only tangentially played > with firewalls, I'm sure I'll screw things up. I run Apache on CentOS and Fedora, though not as a webapp. SELinux isn't a thorn in my side, though I don't know if webapps make that difficult. And I don't do any of those database website things (wikis, blogs, etc). They can be a SELinux headache (probably because they do things in wierd ways, some of them *do* want to run in a risky manner). Firewalling isn't hard, either. The firewall configurator has a couple of tick boxes for HTTP and HTTPS. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 17 23:49:17 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
