Hey, I have an old PC and would like to host a blog-type hiddenservice website on it.
I am new to hosting without using a bunch of fancy popular cloud-computing tools.
All I want is a nice simple http server (only serving bare html) with the highest possible security, anonymity and efficiency.
I have the following questions:
What OS should I use?
What should I use to for the server (is nodejs ok)?
Any other tips/suggestions?
Honestly if you want to go simple
Debian (most distros will work)
Nginx + Tor (apache also works but i found it to be generally worse)
I also dont really understand why you would want to use nodejs, so please elaborate on that a bit.
If you have any questions feel free to reply / dm.
Best Regards,
Diesel

If you're just serving static HTML and want to keep it simple, you might not even need something as heavy as Nginx. Something like Caddy or Lighttpd could work since they're lightweight and easy to set up
Also if security is a big deal for you, OpenBSD might be worth checking out instead of Debian it's built with security in mind, though it’s a bit more hands-on. But yeah, Debian is still solid if you want something familiar

I would suggest debian over BSD if your fresh to the topic, there are plenty of tutorials out there you just need to get your head around basic command line and file editing.
