I've been given an old XP pc and have put (X)ubuntu on it in order to get a web-server running with the goal being to let family members sign in and download TV shows/movies/etc.
Have set it up according to a couple of sites (a mix of Ubuntu/apache etc sites) and am using ngrok to open up a tunnel (with the end goal being once it's running and accessible, i will go for the $5/mnth for the permanent address).
Have apache/mysql/php working (this is NEW territory for me, but i THINK it is working correctly) and have ngrok running, but i cannot connect from an external device (my tablet).
I THINK the problem is with firewall (ufw on ubuntu and the router firewall): have tried to get port 80 accessible through both , have allowed access through the router firewall for the web-server: my next plan is to completely stop ufw on the pc and just allow the router to run things.
Does anyone have advice/tips/help?
Gotta be at least a couple people familiar with running a web site around here :)

Seems like what i needed was a reboot(?) because i can now access the apache2 default page through the ngrok.io tunnel!
Sigh: will have to wait until i can find time to do up a proper web page and populate it with my external hard drives and make it look fancy, lol.
Still want to do more reading about security, though: make sure i do it right. :/

Smart move! One thing I know about cyber, the reboot solves many many problems. Whether the bad cyber is in a cellphone or an aircraft carrier. And I wish I'd looked at your journal sooner, I would have said, "try the reboot." It's not 100%. But it's like 80%.
The journals. I can edit my journal. Very easy, I touch Journal then I touch where it says "edit." But unfortunately I don't know how to edit your journal. Or I'd put a #TrumpTrain [facebook.com] link in for you!

G!
Donald fecking Trump taught me something!
Should I say thanks? Should I run and hide?
Should I shake his hand (always being aware of the 'pull in' thing he does)?
Is theRealDonaldTrump REALLY HillaryClinton???
:) Thanks.

You're welcome.
And if you want to thank me some more, when you have your elections. You folks have something that I guess is like our Electoral College. Where you vote for a guy, and that guy votes for the guy -- or woman -- who runs your Country. And hopefully you'll vote for somebody that isn't with Justin. He's been charging the U.S. massive tariffs and creating non-monetary barriers. Keeping our farmers and others out. Killing our economy! Canada used to be a great friend, they're not a friend anymore. And that's too bad.
