Hey folks,

I‘m new in the HomeServer business. So I started with two little applications on my Proxmox: paperless and do most

In the next time I’ll start a little project to collaborate more. Current I connect to my HomeServer with VPN. But if other people start connecting to my instance it would be useful to get an other secure system.

What is the way you prefer to give other people like your fam or friends access to your services (e. g. nextcloud)?

Thanks for helping an newbie!

    I’ll just open them up to the internet via an nginx reverse proxy. Make sure sign up is disabled in the applications, and something blocks people from brute-forcing passwords. Pretty sure Nextcloud comes like that per default. And I’ll do updates. And see if I can run stuff in containers or seperate users so in the unlikely case something happens, access to one of my services doesn’t compromise the entire server.

    Lots of other people use VPNs though. Like Wireguard, Netbird, Tailscale…
