Before we start, you will need a Debian 10+ VPS (you can get one on digitalocean for example), if you prefer to use your own self hosted server, make sure that port 80 and 443 are correctly port forwarded so that the public ip points to the server and not the router. Once that's done, go and ssh into your debian 10 server.
You can use DuckDNS to get a free domain name:
[ 192.168.100.1/24 ] [ /dev/pts/13 ] [~/Nextcloud/blog/Conf]
→ ssh root@ech4.duckdns.org
The authenticity of host 'ech4.duckdns.org (178.128.46.38)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:z2HAncB99pfbAUfj9tJY7vlo8EGUzCIUxWBAnjAflcA.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'ech4.duckdns.org,178.128.46.38' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.

Now we need to handle the nginx proxy:
First get the CNAME dns record on your domain name (for example u.void.yt points to void.yt) if it were an external server it would be an A record (u.void.yt pointing to an external ip address)
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
wget https://blog.nowhere.moe/servers/kutt/kutt.conf
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/kutt.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/kutt.conf
nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/kutt.conf
#change the domain name to match yours
#ctrl +s to save ctrl +x to exit nano
systemctl stop nginx
acme.sh --issue --standalone -d u.void.yt -k 4096
systemctl start nginx
nginx -t
