Hello everybody,

I bought a domain name on Hover.com and wanted to know how I can connect my homelab to it. So far I've got the domain connected to Cloudflare but I have absolutely no idea how to go about getting everything set up on the networking side of things. Does anybody have some useful tips/guides/videos that could help?

Cloudflare is a good start, start a Google cloud trial as well and set up oauth2 for logging into your public cloudflare tunnels so you're not solely relying on the strength of your services' passwords. It's been working very well for my lab as of late.
