My domain is just used so I can reverse-proxy my homelab for people who don't know anything about vpn, etc.
Yeah, I use it for personal link sharing for Immich. Sharing photos is a breeze.
"######.xyz" was cheap as chips. Now I'm using Https I want to stay there so I was thinking about getting a more convenient domain, but then I'd have to migrate... So £12 it is
I don't even know why everyone keeps getting these no-name bullshit tlds. .com is $12/yr, it basically never changes...
For me, it was the cheapest entry.
I got a domain that I only use for email right now but I'd love to set something like this up. Any recommendations on tutorials?
Get started with a Linux server and then I'd go with something like Nextcloud in a Docker container. Then do reverse proxy, nginx on the host is very easy. You can get and update SSL certs with certbot (Let's Encrypt).
Just do Caddy instead of nginx/cerbot all that garbage. Caddy just simply handles it all for you.
My whole caddy file is like 6 lines; something like
@mydomain.com {ipaddress:portpath:/And if you don't have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.
For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.
