Why is everyone using Tailscale? Edit: I meant Traefik (lemmy.world)

Title. I looked at how to configure anything and found Caddy to be much easier to use. Aside from a lot of docker images integrating with it, why is everyone using it? Edit: I meant Traefik

@Jason2357 @uranibaba does it pay out? I mean, you can also forward a port from one interface to another on the VPS and have one service less, am I missing something?

Using a mesh network like Wireguard/Tailscale enables you to have a public interface that's not on your home router, but the VPS instead.

The VPS is a $2 instance and very under powered, however it has a dedicated static IP and some Ddos protection. The basement computer is powerfully and capable of providing various services, but I don’t want any trouble with my home IP address. Tailscale let’s the VPS see the home computer securely.

I meant to ask about Traefik vs Caddy, but you setup is genius.

Thanks, I like it. The downside is that the VPS can see the content of my services, so it’s no good if you don’t trust the VPS provider, or if the content is too sensitive to allow that. I think it’s a good trade-off for my usage though. Performs well. One of the services I proxy is a rpi serving images downloaded from weather satellites. Connecting directly to the pi is super slow, but the proxy caching makes it 100% faster.
