Running a web server on a machine with private IP Address.

by Nachiketa Sadhu

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. 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? I run Fedora 32 64 bit GNU/Linux on my machine. Please let me know if any more information is required to answer my question. I will be thankful for any pointers which I can read to understand the complexities.
