How are you making services remotely accessible?

stevecrox@kbin.run to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 99 points –

I need help figuring out where I am going wrong or being an idiot, if people could point out where...

I have a server running Debian 12 and various docker images (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc...) controlled by portainer.

A consumer router assigns static Ip addresses by MAC address. The router lets me define the IP address of a primary/secondary DNS. The router registers itself with DynDNS.

I want to make this remotely accessible.

From what I have read I need to setup a reverse proxy, I have tried to follow various guides to give my server a cert for the reverse proxy but it always fails.

I figure the server needs the dyndns address to point at it but I the scripts pick up the internal IP.

How are people solving this?

VPS with public IPv4, Wireguard/Tailscale/Headscale and my own Domain.

What has your experience with Headscale been like? Also, have you tried NetBird?

Headscale is pretty straight forward to set up and easy to use. And there are multiple WebGUIs available to choose from, if you need. If you have any questions, let me know.
