I have started experimenting again with a local server and I am facing a few issues, here is my case.
I run Debian o an old HP prebuilt without GUI.
I do everything with ssh from my laptop (basic connection ssh user@addr)
I have installed docker.
I have installed a few containers.
I also installed portainer for easier management.
All good so far because everything is local.
I have purchased a domain with cloudflare and set up a tunnel as to avoid exposing any ports and having an easier time managing and deploying stuff.
I have set up jellyfin and vaultwarden but when I tried to install nextcloud AIO it was advised to add a local reverse proxy as to avoid many problems.
My questions are:
Is the tunnel solution appropriate for jellyfin?
I suppose it’s OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?
Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?
Any general recommendations on the above and in general are appreciated!
This all sounds like too many levels of hair. If you really want to serve from home and have the upstream bandwidth for it, then reverse proxy to a cheap VPS seems like the easiest approach. I lost interest in that ages ago, partly because of crappy home internet. I have played with the idea of colo’ing a server at a data center but in the end, it’s simpler to use VPS and/or rental dedicated servers, so I do that instead. Whether that counts as self hosting is up to you, I guess.
