Greetings! I currently host a number of services on an old pc in my basement. I have ports 80 and 443 forwarded and am running Nginx Proxy Manager as well as Authelia to protect most of them. I have set up a lemmy instance that I am using as my main point of access to the fediverse. I guess I have two questions. I am assuming that hiding lemmy behind Authelia would break Federation (although maybe only one way?), is that correct? And secondly, would it be objectively safer for me to pay for a VPS, run Nginx Proxy Manager there and then forward all of the traffic to the services hosted in my basement server using Tailscale? Thanks!
Thank you for explaining and for the examples, it’s definitely time to start learning caddy. I liked npm for the simple gui, but security and reliability are more important
the problems mentioned by @cstine@lemmy.uncomfortable.business are what lead me to try Caddy… there’s no fancy gui but it does “just work” once you figure out the caddyfile…
