Exactly. _waits for “because we can” comment_
Well, to be fair that comment is pretty incorrect. You don’t specifically need a reverse proxy for anything when exposing services publicly, and you also don’t need to expose services publicly to use a reverse proxy internally.
Also, internet points.
Tailscale is pretty easy, you install it on the server and say tailscale up, you install it on the phone and turn it on, that’s it. Well you also have to make an account on their website and open the links your server and phone give you to validate them, but that really is all.
Would you or maybe know someone else who could help me set all that up then? I want to setup duplicate services for specific things that I don’t want the others getting stuck doing
Okay, interesting. Just new to me but that’s alright!
Understood. Going to be hard for me to figure doing that stuff out on my own haha! Might be worth doing though! Thanks!
I would find a good tutorial for one of the services once a reverse proxy is set up and working with SSL it’s pretty easy to do the rest.
Jellyfin has amazing documentation and helped me get my domain, certs and reverse proxy config set up.
Not sure what this means?

Docker you can run more than one instance? Like PhotoPrism I run two so my partner and I both have our own instance.
Tailscale VPN is also a good option though, you just install it on every device you want to have a shared VPN on and then make sure they are all assigned to the same network and whenever you connect to the VPN you will have access to the server.
This subreddit has lots of good posts about the various topics. Also r/homelab and several others.
Still if you want advice specific to you, then you would probably want to make another post about a specific topic. Plus you would need to give more details on what, you specifically want. A vague, ‘I want to know everything post’, probably won’t get you very useful answers.
You mentioned a TrueNAS, and I haven’t used that, so I don’t know much about what that offers as far as DNS, some kind of proxy.
Do you have pihole or adguard in your stack yet?
