Best free way to have a simple website and file server.
Hi,
I have a wordpress plan which gives me 10gb of storage, a free domain, and free hosting.
I then made a simple web server with python+tailscale on an old win11 pro laptop, I also added a tiny bit of code to resolve moved files.
But this whole thing is clunky, the laptop's wifi card or its driver dies if I close the lid, this also stops RDP from connecting from my desktop
SMB is working fine, but I wanted to only have \\desktop\kris to have remote access, but it won't let me do it, so I just added \\laptop\kris instead and I can still connect fine on the desktop after rebooting both several times (maybe it spoofed the hostname since both accounts are kris and have the same password.. Also starting the server up is sloow so links break often, I try not to turn the lappy off much.
I make a folder and add some files, then make a wordpress post for them to be on, consisting of a title, a png embed, a link to a .ldr file and a link to an .LS file, all my posts are the same this way, but what I really want is to be able to dynamically add the posts based on the folder-names on my file server as well as dynamically add the image and 2 links. I also therefore need to get the win32 program working to generate every combination of the data as a unique file, but that's a separate problem so I just make them manually for now.
I hope there is a way to not have to rely on some python script to resolve moved files on the file server.
The server is on port 8000 as is tailsscale. Even making a registry script or service using NSSM totally failed and nobody could figure out why - nor could I. So I just went back to having a shortcut to a bat script in shell:startup...
I also don't want to spend any money because its just some obscure wordpress website and blah blah
Any questions, I'd be happy to answer
