I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I’m going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

    I’ve looked at it but never actually given the Synology proxy a go despite using their DNS server. Does it do auto certificate renewal?

    Have you considered using a Cloudflare tunnel to bypass the CGNAT? You can do that into a proxy or straight into the service.

      Yes.

      I did before when I had some free domain over there, but I don’t think there are any worthy free domains out there anymore, and even when they are cheap, I really don’t need it and don’t feel comfortable to pay for something that I can’t use in its fullest (due to CGNAT).

      For example, I am aware cloudflare tunnels can’t be used for a Plex/Video streaming and that is the number 1 service that I want to be exposed to the Internet.

      For now I am living with my IPv6 address and the Synology DDNS with the reverse proxy features… My personal fallback are Tailscale and Zerotier.
