Access home server from anywhere (lemmy.zip)

Hi, I know this topic has been talked about 70 thousand times but I’m still not sure.

I have home server on an intel NUC behind the ISP router. On it I have the standard arr apps, jellyfin, pi-hole etc etc. I would like to access them through a domain rather than an IP. So I set them up in docker, behind traefik, behind authelia and behind cloudflare. I am the only one that uses it.

Now, I’m worried about the security of it all. I’ve been searching here and there and I’ve read about cf tunnels, wireguard server, vps, vlan, OPNsense etc etc. I still don’t know what would be the most secure. Should I just stay with what I have?

EDIT: I'm not behind CGNAT

Check out Tailscale. They have 20 machine limit on the free plan. It runs on wireguard and is pretty secure.

And there's an OSS control plane replacement called Headscale although I don't know what's involved in using it. Researching and implementing it is my backup plan for when Tailscale turns to shit.

E: Just briefly parsed their docs, deployment and usage seem pretty trivial. There's no need to use forks of the clients either. You can give your Headscale url to the Tailscale clients on login and you're good to go.

Setting up headscale isn't too hard. But last time I tried, connecting the clients to it didn't work properly (on mobile). Since they are using the regular tailscale clients, they don't have much control over that.

I gotta try. I'm planning to switch to it anyways. The Android client is open source so if something has to be changed it can be contributed or forked if the contribution isn't accepted.

Install tailscale from F-Droid not Google Play. I had trouble setting up custom server with Google Play version.
