Need help getting started

Hello fellow lemmings! As mentioned in the title, I'm barely just getting started with the self hosting thing and such.

I have a small personal project for which I'd like to self host my own "ugly-90's-HTML" blog (I just love the look and feel you know).

I've got a desktop machine that I could use as a server, and I also just purchased my own domain from cloudflare (for commitment), but I'm a bit stuck on the actual "putting-my-stuff-online" thing and I don't want to do anything stupid.

I know there's a lot of learning I still need to do, but that's the reason I'm starting this project. Any help would be welcomed.

I have 3 cents of basic networking knowledge (I made my own Ethernet cable conection to my gateway :D); I'm using a linux distro as my main desktop; I have created an ssh tunnel with cloudflare so far, and I'm following a little html+css tutorial. The thing is, I've found so many different ways of putting things online, I'm a bit dizzy. I would like something that will teach me the fundamentals without holding my hand too much (a la "next, next, next, confirm, finish"), you know? I mean, I'm learning by essentially making a 90's website... So, yeah.

Thanks in advance <3

[TL;DR] Me want make 90's website, don't know how
