I think it would work. but it would probably require a ton of work. Does anyone have a simple way? Or should I just give up on hosting it myself? I would love to, as I have made my old laptop into a web server. It runs Lubuntu with Nginx installed. Does anyone have experience with this at all? Thanks!

Just change the Docker port at app.yml:
```
## which TCP/IP ports should this container expose?
expose:
- "8080:80" # fwd host port 80 to container port 80 (http)
- "2222:22" # fwd host port 2222 to container port 22 (ssh)
```
and configure the proxy on Nginx:
```
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
}
}
```
