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.
