I still choose Ubuntu as the operating system, and Ansible as configuration management tool, so you can find most of the configuration files on my GitHub.

• frp

  112 80,171 9.0 Go

  A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.

The usual way is to use DDNS (dynamic DNS) to resolve a domain to the IP of your home network, but it requires your home network to have a public IP, and ISP allows you to provide Web service through 80 or 443 port. I don't want to rely on that, so I turn to using frp as a reverse proxy. If you do have a public IP, you can use the DDNS, it doesn't need a relay server and has a faster speed.

  📱 Nextcloud iOS App (by nextcloud)

  

Although I don't need to dial a VPN before accessing my NAS outside, but expose NextCloud on public network is not safe. There are already some people request NextCloud add support for client-side certificate authentication on their app, I am also very interested in this feature, it will improve the security of public network access.

And another cronjob backups to Backblaze B2 as an offsite backup using restic. Backblaze B2 is a low-cost object storage provider, it is a good choice for backup. restic is an incremental backup tool that also supports encryption. For cost consideration, offsite backups only include data created by myself, not including public and backups directories.
