Normally I don't change the names that the distribution gives to the hostname, but I've been thinking for a while about changing the names to mythological gods or Latin tree names only for server and SBC.

The only server for which I have changed the host name is now r5700server. r5700 for the processor (Ryzen 7 5700), and server because it's a server.

We've already tried ZeroTier a long time ago, and it works well, but if you want to add another person to the game, it's a "lot" of steps before you can play. You're probably right that the best solution would be to use ZeroTier, but it's not the most practical for everyone. At least that's my opinion.
And you need to install a new application just to play with others, which is not what I want.

That's a good news.

I'm going to look at Tailscale Funnel and I don't want my friends to have to install software to play.

I don't know if this is paranoia, but I don't read good things on Cloudflare for privacy.
And after some thinking, using OVH VPS is not the best thing to do for privacy...

You got me 😂

I'm going to try the first approach of @Limonene.
I hope the amount of lag is not that high, and thank you for reminding me.

I'm going to try your first approach, which seems to be what I want.
The second one looks tempting, but the first one seems to be more secure, I think.

This can be a solution, but only for game servers, and I'm just going to use Tailscale or Netbird for apps.

From what I can see, it's possible to use this for playing Minecraft with this mod, modflared. Not the best solution, but a working one (I hope).

If I use the same server to host games and apps, how am I going to redirect URLs to the correct reverse proxy ? I think I need a little more research, but I agree that putting the reverse proxy in the same place as what I'm hosting is a better idea.

On the other hand, if I just use tailscale, how can people connect to the game servers without having to install anything ? Or I just don't understand how it works.

Hello everyone :D

I’m looking to host some gaming servers to play with my friends (minecraft, enshrouded, and others), and some apps (paperless-ng, jellyfin, seafile, etc.). Each game server must be accessible from the Internet, but only certain applications will be accessible (jellyfin, etc.)

I don't want to open any ports on my router or share my public IP. I already have a domain name, and I'm thinking of using some VPS to host a reverse proxy with tailscale or netbird.

For the VPS, I'm thinking of using OVH with unlimited bandwidth. I already have the domain name here, and I live in France where the servers are.

A few questions :

  • Is this a good idea ? Any better solution is welcome.
  • I don't really know how I'm going to redirect subdomains to use the correct reverse proxy. Local DNS on the VPS ?
  • Tailscale or Netbird ? (I actually don't have any idea)
  • Won't using Tailscale or Netbird like this cause performance losses on game servers ?

Reverse proxy :

  • nginx for application
  • infrared or gate for minecraft server
  • Others for different game servers if needed.
