Hi! Your project sounds interesting. Setting up a Pterodactyl server panel, monitoring with Cacti, and a website on your home servers is a solid plan. Since both your old PCs run Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, you should have everything you need locally. You’re considering using a reverse proxy or even running your Raspberry Pi as a DNS server to forward domains. That’s definitely feasible, especially if you want better control or performance. Just make sure your DNS configuration is secure and properly set up for each domain you plan to use. Let me know if you need help with any specific steps!
