Hello, I don’t have much experience in self-hosting, I’m buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I’m planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I’m setting up a website for my computer store. I want it to have listings and payment options so they can check out there. I want my customer data to be secure. I don’t want it to have any JavaScript or nasty trackers. I want it to be FOSS. Any help is highly appreciated!

    Definitely use some sort of cloud server, I’d stay away from your VPN + port forwarding idea, it will only cause you issues. I heard good things about WooCommerce, it’s FOSS. You can’t get around JavaScript, it’s impossible to build a functioning online store without some kind of JS. WooCommerce doesn’t include trackers though, just the bare-minimum JavaScript that is required for the site to work.

      Well, sure you can. It will just be a pain to use for your users, especially when validation comes into play.

      But a simple list with an “add to chart” button really won’t need any javascript.
