Howdy, I'm a complete beginner to linux, servers and the whole shabang so please be patient w/ me. I'm running a ubuntu server and so far i've got it so I can access the website files (html pages & css) I FTP onto there by typing in the IP address or simply localhost into the search bar. That works fine if i'm at home but I want other people to access the website too. So I bought a domain name and changed the nameserver to match my ip. I waited about a week for it to propigate and it seems like it has but I still get this error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. You can check here:
So i'm not sure what to do. There's like a million tutorials for that error but most of them are client-side which my issue isn't because I get the same no matter what device or network i'm on.
I can also "9090" into the server using cockpit and use remote desktop to remotely control it if i'm on my home PC. So there's lots of ways for me to access the server, just not from anywhere outside my house or using the domain name I just bought.
I've heard some stuff about a "TCP-IP Protocol Stack" but I don't think i've set anything up like that and i'm not sure if it's required for what I want to do.
Basically I just want to use my own home server and domain to host my website and all of my projects. I would be eternally grateful for anyone who helps out. I'm really excited to get my website up and running an start making things.
