So, in which order do I even go about this? I've installed Nginx-Proxy as a reverse proxy server but I can't get a working SSL with it. Tried installing some microservices but most of them need a functioning reverse proxy to get a working configuration. So it seems there's port forwarding in the router necessary, and my Asus RT-N66u has the settings for it but I never got it to work. So then I guess I'll need to self-host a router on the rPi and add a NAT-passthrough on the Asus. I see people posting their dashboards on here, sometimes with almost hundreds of microservices on them. How do you guys have time to set up all these, when it takes me days to not even get the reverse proxy working despite hours and hours of research, reading and troubleshooting? Like seriously, are there really no straightforward guides, or even better - compose files (kinda like this one, but just with a basic template) to get started with self hosting microservices (setup the network, add a dashboard)?
Not sure what you mean with which order, because it really depends on what you're installing and there typically is no order. Just have a look at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and explore what seems interesting to you. Search this subreddit to see what peeps have to say about said service, and read the service docs.
I couldn't get NGINX to work and am having a great time using Caddy if you feel like trying that for reverse proxy.
