Is putting it behind an Oauth2 proxy and running the server in a rootless container enough?
Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Synology worked for me. They have built in reverse proxy. As well as good documentation to install it on their machine. Just gotta configure your wifi router to port forward your device and bam you're ready to rock and roll
OpenVPN into my router
Nobody here with a tailscale funnel?? It's such a simple way to get https access from anywhere without being on the tailnet.
For my travel devices, I use Tailscale to talk to the server. For raw internet, I use their funnel feature to expose the service over HTTPS. Then just have fail2ban watching the port to make sure no shenanigans or have the entire service offlined until I can check it.
Sad that mTLS support is non existent because it solves this problem.
Tailscale + Caddy (automatic certificates FTW).
SWAG reverse proxy with a custom domain+subdomain, protected by authentik and fail2ban. Easy access from anywhere once it's set up. No vpn required, just type in the short subdomain.domain.com and sign in (or the app keeps me signed in)
I'm using a cheap VPS that connects over Tailscale to my home server. The VPS runs Nginx Proxy Manager, has a firewall and the provider offers DDOS protection and that's it.
VPN or Tailscale
I'm using jf on unraid. I'm allowing remote https only access with Nginx Proxy Manager in a docker container.
