I was interested in doing something like this for my photography. Unfortunately I don't have access to the router that my PC would be connected to and I can't leave it on all the time, but assuming those two conditions were met, is it really that easy to entirely self host?

Qnap and Synology NAS have very easy ways to expose a https web service inside your NAS and also WITHOUT touching your router.
You can have audio, video, photo and docs services that can be shared to outside your LAN super easy, without losing any security.
I need to look closer at this, I'm now wondering if it'd help with Chronicle - stuck between UPnP or third party to establish links between accounts atm, wondering if this'd be easier than expecting people to mess with their routers.
This could be really handy to learn about
Yeah, my NAS does this.
The only reason I need to learn this stuff is for an app I'm putting together, but I have a feeling that once learned, I'll find it extremely useful.
