Well getting node.js to serve a very small “hello world” was ready enough. At least to a loopback address. Next, I need to have this be reachable by the local network. I think I know what I need to do there, just need to give it a poke.
I might need to look at my network configuration though, if not today then soon. As in, for what I’m doing now, but four security purposes, I’m tempted to lock everything to individual hardware devices.
