@matildalove at the end of the day a static ip isn't necessarily needed as long as you're okay with manually checking if your ip is still the same and reconfiguring as needed, or setting up dynamic dns to reconfigure periodically

how often your ip will rotate depends on a lot of things, including but not limited to your router and your isp

as for setting up the server i learned caddy as my first webserver and i quite like it; you just need to tell it where to see files and what domain(s) to serve, then make sure your ports (80 and 443) are forwarded correctly, and then configure dns to point to your server
