Hi everyone, first time posting since the Reddit went nuclear on sanity. With the advent of Lemmy, I finally got around to booting my home-server back up and stood up my own instance :)
How do you all self host stuff? I’ve been happily running Nextcloud, Home Assistant, Plex, etc locally, but none of that has been internet facing. As I’m getting back into this I want to share stuff with my friends and family and getting them all to use a VPN seems like a stretch.
Wondering if the general consensus is that it’s better to put shit on a VPS, on your own HW locally (with firewalls, safeguards, etc) or some combo of the two?
I second this. I only access anything internet facing via tailscale.
The only question I have now, is how do I let family and friends access certain services without tailscale?
I’m thinking a vps with something like authelia in the front that tunnels into my server via tailscale.
I just give them access through tailscale, but then again I don’t have many people who need access to what I host.
