Hi everyone! I would like to share with you my experience with setting up a home server for the first time using old hardware.
For this I used Proxmox and set up some interesting services such as Blocky DNS proxy, Nginx Proxy Manager, DuckDNS and Let's Encrypt certificates, and a few more.
It was a rewarding experience and I definitely learned a lot. I hope it is an interesting read, I am also open to feedbacks.

Thanks for the story sir. I would suggest over my very recent experience with this similar setup and matching expertise:
#Pro
I would suggest NPM as a viable proxy to menage over view of multiple subdomains over more modern solution unless load balancing is needed to scale up. NPM-gui is a sane choise to go for.
#Cons
I would suggest buying a domain and transferring it to Cloudflare to set the dns to subdomains (and generate multiple ssl certs with DNS challenge plug-in using NPM[-gui])
