To connect via a domain name I would recommend using a VPS as a reverse proxy to your server. This is easily done by initiating a Wireguard connection to the VPS, then connecting to your home server via the domain which points to the VPS's ip. Quick google search got me this.
And for wolfgang's blog, all he's doing is setting up NPM then pointing Nextcloud's ip+port to his domain name (which is a DuckDNS). For truenas scale I found this, which basically says that Traefik is a better reverse proxy for scale.
Note: I have not used TrueNAS Scale at all, so take my info with a grain of salt. I personally feel as if using Proxmox and then making 1x TrueNAS Core and 1x Linux containers would be easier, but I digress. Let me know if you have questions.
I will echo this. I’m pretty new to homelabbing (I got a Synology NAS a year ago but have just gotten more serious about is and built a new machine last week that I have installed Proxmox and TrueNAS Core on). I haven’t set up remote access yet on the new machine, but for my Synology I have a VPS with Nginx (not NPM just vanilla Nginx) pointing to a VM on the Synology that also has Nginx, with a Wireguard tunnel between them. The VPS uses Nginx to forward ports 80/443 to the local VM (if the headers have appropriate URLs), then the local VM uses Nginx to forward the requests to the locally hosted services.
I’m thinking about dabbling with Traefik to set things up with my new machine, but the VPS+VM (or a container) with proxy capabilities is the way to go. And, of course, have your domain point to the VPS.
