Hello all,

I have started experimenting again with a local server and I am facing a few issues, here is my case.

I run Debian o an old HP prebuilt without GUI. I do everything with ssh from my laptop (basic connection ssh user@addr)

I have installed docker. I have installed a few containers. I also installed portainer for easier management.

All good so far because everything is local.

I have purchased a domain with cloudflare and set up a tunnel as to avoid exposing any ports and having an easier time managing and deploying stuff.

I have set up jellyfin and vaultwarden but when I tried to install nextcloud AIO it was advised to add a local reverse proxy as to avoid many problems.

My questions are:

Is the tunnel solution appropriate for jellyfin?

I suppose it’s OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?

Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?

Any general recommendations on the above and in general are appreciated!

    AFAIK, Tailscale has Funnel, which is better than CF tunnels since you can expose any machine you have without buying an expensive switch.

      Why would you need an expensive switch for CF tunnels??

      It bypasses the switch and forms a tunnel directly to the machine and you don’t need to change any configuration on the switch

      Both options can expose any service as long as the machine has internet
