Hey all! For the longest time I’ve had a server that hosts some things (eg Syncthing), but is only available via SSH tunneling.

I’ve been thinking of self-hosting more things like Nextcloud and Vaultwarden. I can keep my SSH tunneling setup but it might make it difficult to do SSL.

How do you manage the security of having public-facing servers?

    Look into tailscale it was really easy to setup for a VPN. You can expose web services with cloudflare and a domain name.

      Yup, I’m also using Cloudflare tunnels with a private domain. The docs saying what to do on Cloudflare’s side weren’t that easy to find though. It’s too easy to accidentally fall into their docs on Argo Tunnels or the “zero-trust” thing.

      Once it’s set up though, it’s really awesome
