Title. I looked at how to configure anything and found Caddy to be much easier to use. Aside from a lot of docker images integrating with it, why is everyone using it? Edit: I meant Traefik

    The VPS is a $2 instance and very under powered, however it has a dedicated static IP and some Ddos protection. The basement computer is powerfully and capable of providing various services, but I don’t want any trouble with my home IP address. Tailscale let’s the VPS see the home computer securely.

        Thanks, I like it. The downside is that the VPS can see the content of my services, so it’s no good if you don’t trust the VPS provider, or if the content is too sensitive to allow that. I think it’s a good trade-off for my usage though. Performs well. One of the services I proxy is a rpi serving images downloaded from weather satellites. Connecting directly to the pi is super slow, but the proxy caching makes it 100% faster.

      @Jason2357 yep, I understand the idea behind VPS with VPN to have a public IP, and it is what I’m going to use to migrate some of my services from AWS
      my point is, “do you need a reverse proxy if you have a VPN already?”
