Self Hosting Nightmare

So there was a power failure at my home (where this beautiful site is hosted) and when the power came back on this website wouldn’t come up. I scoured through nginx configurations and even asked copilot and cursor to help me out with some AI trouble shooting.

Where did it turn out the error was? The IP pass through between my AT&T Gateway and my home ubiquity router!

The Pass through on the AT&T gateway wasn’t providing the external IP address to my internal router. Typically others suggest using dhcp setting on both the AT&T modem and the Ubiquity router but I was forced to used fixed IP addresses because the Ubiquity router kept getting an IP from the AT&T VLAN. Actual details to follow.
