Preparing to build a home server: Preparing to build a home server

What is a server?

A server is simply a computer that is open to the public on the Internet.
Generally, it is used for publishing websites, blogs, etc.

There are two ways to use it, such as self-owned and rental, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage of a home server is that there are no usage restrictions, but the disadvantages include the cost of electricity and maintenance.

The advantage of a rental server is that it can be used easily without the hassle of maintenance, but the disadvantages are the rental fee and usage restrictions such as capacity, speed, and programs.

A fixed IP address is often used to publish a server, but in the case of a general home Internet line, a dynamic IP address is used in most cases, and using a fixed IP address will incur a usage fee.

A dynamic IP address does not pose a problem when browsing the Internet from home, but since the IP address changes after a certain amount of time, when the server is made public, there will be problems with connections from the domain.

Here’s how to fix the connectivity issue and publish your server with a dynamic IP address.

router settings.

Please check the router setting method on the manufacturer’s site according to your own environment.

Check the IP address/mask length in your DHCPv4 server settings.

Example: 192.168.1.1/24

Please check the setting method to determine the IP address of the web server and publish it to the outside.

Example: 192.168.1.3

Check the current global IP address in “Example”. (It will be changed after a certain amount of time.)

(If the IP address is not displayed in the example, check with “IP address detection CGI”.)

Example: ***.***.***.***

IP address detection CGI

Static NAT settings.

  • Make the web server public. IP address:192.168.1.3
  • Make the FTP server public. IP address:192.168.1.3

DHCPv4 server settings > DHCP fixed IP address settings.

  • MAC address: MAC address of the server (search with the command “ip add” on the terminal)
  • IP address:192.168.1.3

Static IP masquerading settings.

  • Set the conversion target protocol, conversion target port, destination IP address, and destination port.
Converted protocol Converted port Destination IP address destination port
TCP/UDP 53 domain 192.168.1.3 53 domain
TCP/UDP 80 www 192.168.1.3 80 www
TCP/UDP 443 ssl 192.168.1.3 443 ssl
TCP 25 smtp 192.168.1.3 25 smtp
TCP 143 imtp 192.168.1.3 143 imtp
TCP 465 smtp 192.168.1.3 465 smtp
TCP 587 smtp 192.168.1.3 587 smtp
TCP 110 pop3 192.168.1.3 110 pop3
TCP 993 pop3 192.168.1.3 993 pop3
TCP/UDP 20 ftpdata 192.168.1.3 20 ftpdata
TCP/UDP 21 FTP 192.168.1.3 21 FTP

server body.

You can use the server even if you reuse the old PC (intel core i series or higher)

Since it operates 24 hours a day, we recommend a server specification one.

Note: Laptops are not designed for long-term use and should not be used as servers. (There is a risk of fire.)

A keyboard, mouse, and HDD are required separately.

It is recommended to install two HDDs, one for main and one for backup.

For DVD boot, a DVD drive and DVD-R are required.

For USB boot, a USB memory is required.

BIOS setting.

Please check how to start the BIOS according to your environment.

For example: It may appear on the screen immediately after booting.

Manufacturer control key
Fujitsu “F2”
NEC “F2”
Lenovo “F1” or “F2”
HP “F10” or “Esc”
Dell “F2” or “F12”

  • Boot Menu settings. (set boot method to DVD or USB)
  • Save and exit.
