As others have suggested I would stick to internal only until you're comfortable. Dealing with automated port scanning from all over the globe is a nightmare if you aren't running a tight ship, and a collasal headache to deal with if they get in. I started with pihole, jellyfin, and some other simple docker services. Check out linuxserver.io if you go the docker route, they have good prebuilt compose files for you to use and the community has good info on their forums. You don't need a domain but it's preferred if you want to host something public-facing. Make sure you have fail2ban configured if you open stuff up to the web, it makes dealing with the automated attacks easier.

People have built DIY mowers utilizing tech like this. Problem is, the RTK receivers are far too expensive for all but the higher end mowers.
YouTube series by BurningIceTech, and either spin up VMs yourself to familiarize with group policy, management console, services, event viewer, and basic CLI in Linux, or buy the labs from comptia. 1101 and 1102 are heavily focused on ports and protocol overviews, raid, windows settings, and basic troubleshooting. Take good notes since you'll build on the A+ stuff in Net+ and Sec+ if you take those too.
