Does anyone know How do I set-up my PR4100 to self-host my website?

I have docker installed and on OS5 and I wanted to follow a guide like this. But I wanted to know if there was a PR4100 specific guides around.

Does anyone know How do I set-up my PR4100 to self-host my website?

While it’s technically possible to self-host a website on the PR4100, it requires leaving it exposed to the internet, which is a VERY DANGEROUS idea.

Besides, installing and configuring the desired software stack (LAMP, MAMP, WAMP, XAMPP, etc) requires skills that are far beyond the average user. Have you performed any emedded device firmware modifications and/or developed any apps lately? If not, I strongly suggest seeking an alternate approach.

I’m going to use Cloudflare, so it is less dangerous as the IP address is not exposed.

The main assistance I need is installing ubuntu server 20.04. I want to retain the My Cloud OS 5 and have an ubuntu server running on a partition or something. So how do I set this up?
