Most of my services are only available by using a vpn into my home network. I can understand why you might need a public facing service but I avoid it like the plague.
- anderspitman 6y agoI see it as an important step to a more decentralized future. For example, I know a few people who maintain Plex servers for their friends and family. This works quite well, but getting the server on the internet is the trickiest part. You can sink a lot of time into configuring routers, managing certs, NAT, DMZ, LMNOP. Or you can use a tunneling service that manages all of it for you.
- jlgaddis 6y agoThe way to a more decentralized future is through yet another third-party service?
- anderspitman 6y agoHuh? Are you referring to the VPS provider?
- throwaway894345 6y agoI have an EC2 instance running caddy that proxies through to my RPI cluster via VPN. It was pretty easy to set up. And Caddy handles HTTPS and HTTP->HTTPS redirection out of the box.
- wil421 6y agoThank you. Caddy sounds like something I was looking for recently.
