Planning to host a Minecraft server (as a person who doesn't know a thing about this)

Hi, I really wanted to host a Minecraft server as it seems more fun to have more control or freedom compared to those things online that let them host it for you. I've also wanted to reduce the lag in terms of latency or hardware stuff. I really don't know anything barely on the network stuff so take it easy on me.

I've also been browsing the reddits for some vague idea and information.
First, CGNAT is in no way I would be able to bypass or just get out of (CNVRG peepo here), Second, the main thing I want is to host the server with my setup/desktop as view the hosting stuff pretty expensive in terms of price compared to the extent my setup specs are.
Lastly, I'm kinda looking to the options I saw in the posts such as tailscale/cloudflared and if theres a way use tailscale without other people/friends needing to install it to connect to the server.
