    🎉🌩ī¸ Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service based on Cloudflare! Access your home network remotely via a custom domain name without a static IP!

  • My recommended roadmap for thing to host is: 1. ssh access * with certificates only and fail2ban config 2. local pihole DNS server * learn how to set up your router and devices to use pihole as DNS 3. local jellyfin * no encryption, no external access, just a simple local network service * Create a domain in pihole, that points to your local jellyfin service 4. a ddns-service like cloudflare-ddns * buy a domain and use ddns to point it to your IP 5. nginx-proxy-manager * enable port-forwarding in your router and obtain a lets-encrypt wildcard-cert for your domain * Create a docker network and add npm, jellyfin, and all other web services that you want to access via your domain * Create a proxy host for each service, give every service a unique subdomain, and use your wildcard cert to enable SSL/TLS for all your services * add all those subdomains to your ddns * use pihhole to point the subdomains to your local IP
