Hi,
I recently moved from Mumbai to Kolkata, where I have a fiber network connection who provided me with a private IP address for my machine. My local IP is 172.17.177.88 and the public IP is 45.250.245.79. My desktop is connected to a Wi-fi router with a DHCP host, which provides a IP to my desktop 192.168.1.46.
Public IP should be static. Generally costs extra. Check with your ISP. If it is not static and you can't get one then you may have to use some dynamic dns service. I think mail server setup will be difficult then. I haven't tried setting up a mail server with dynamic dns service.
Port forwarding will be needed for relevant desktop/server ports. Webserver, mail, anything else hosted.
If I want to run a web server and mail server namely Apache and postfix
on my machine, how do I configure my machine? Not running the machine 24/7 will be a problem?
ILUG-BOM helped me setup mail server on this thread http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/pipermail/linuxers/Week-of-Mon-20140217/074274.htm... You can also check the post here. http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/2017/power-of-linux-why-you-no-host/ Note that it uses Debian and not Fedora.
