Runbook + provenance for hosting a public domain from a home machine behind a residential connection: dynamic-DNS → router port-forward → Caddy (ACME TLS reverse proxy) → Node origin. First worked example: `stephenguerin.live`. **Read order** 1. [about.md](about.md) — canonical entry (identity, motivation, lifecycle). 2. [2026-06-13/notes/00-home-port-forward-hosting.md](2026-06-13/notes/00-home-port-forward-hosting.md) — the runbook, feasibility, and lockout-risk analysis. No secrets live here; credentials stay in `.credentials/`. As of 2026-06-13 this is **plan-only** — no DNS/router/Caddy mutation has been performed.
