Hello and thanks for taking the time to read and possibly respond!
I'm new to the hardware/software configuration of a server, but I'm pretty good with google. That lead to my current situation.
I built a nas, loaded up truenas, created a Linux (ubuntu 20.04) Vm, and downloaded my webpanel manager, (plesk,cloudpanel,cpanel etc)
I know I need to port forward. I know I need to use Cloudflare or something similar to its my port, to be secure. But I have no idea of where I can find the port that I need to forward, if I need to do any other configurations, and if I need to install something out of the ordinary.
I have set up VPS's with hetzner, amazon or even Bluehost, but these services already had a public IP that I could point my domains, to and were pretty much ready to use.
So what Im hoping to learn from this thread:
