None of that is needed with cloudflare zero trust + tunneling. You simply install an agent on the machine and configure internal IP:port you want to access the outside in the cloudflare portal, pointing to a domain you own. You can even allow passwords to access internal IPs directly if you want.
That also requires you to manage updates and security on that device… If you want less work not more zero trust cloudflare is a great free solution. I used to use nginx proxy manager which is free as a reverse proxy but again one less machine to worry about. I literally just migrated days ago and I couldn’t be happier.

Of course you can use a reverse proxy to expose your apps to the internet.
Here’s another similar solution that you can self host in a cheap cloud VM:
