Linux and networking nub need help for Slackware web server
 

Hi all,

I recently started learning Python and would like to host my own website with my own domain name on my machine.

I installed Tornado and I can view my web app using localhost:8080.

Question:
How do I bind/map my domain name (example.com) to my machine such that it would show my web app being hosted on port 8080.

I have tried using no-ip DUC client on Linux and what it does it give a subdomain, xxx.no-ip.biz which when i navigate to, brings me to my current ip (im using DHCP) and shows me my web app.

Cheers, and thanks in advance :)

What's not working then? You says that it DOES show you your web app.... but maybe you a word or two?

You can NOT make "http://xxx.no-ip.biz" reach port 8080. That would be from accessing "http://xxx.no-ip.biz:8080". by default it will go for port 80, and what you'd usually do is use a standard web server, e.g apache, or dedicated reverse proxy, e.g. nginx, to connect the incoming request on port 80 up to 8080 inside the server.

Thanks Chris :)

I have a router (3G router) with that does virtual server and maps external ddns address:8082 to 192.168.1.100:80

I do not want to open port 80 on my router as it could be a security risk.
