Most people don't have a static external IP address, so you will need to have an account on a dymanic DNS service. [[https://freedns.afraid.org][FreeDNS]] is the one recommended, but others are available.

If you want systems to be available within an ordinary web browser, such as Firefox, then you will need to [[./domains.html][obtain a domain name]].

 * Installing [[./beaglebone.html][on a Beaglebone Black]]
 * Installing on an [[./debianinstall.html][existing Debian system]]
 * Installing [[./armbian.html][on Armbian]], for unsupported ARM boards such as Raspberry Pi
 * Creating a dedicated [[./socialinstance.html][fediverse instance]] for a single user or to host a community
