Things that I need to be internet facing run on an actual server, most of my stuff is hosted on a laptop in my living room and I use tailscale to access it from outside the house, but I mostly consider that a plus and wouldn't depend on it.
I second this. I only access anything internet facing via tailscale.
The only question I have now, is how do I let family and friends access certain services without tailscale?
I'm thinking a vps with something like authelia in the front that tunnels into my server via tailscale.
I just give them access through tailscale, but then again I don't have many people who need access to what I host.
Gotcha, yeah this is running on a set of boxes that I've been using as my homelab for a few years. Some of those have graduated to homeprod and that's where I'm getting stuck. I want to share Plex and the like with my family who are 2500 miles away.
Definitely would setup tailscale or a VPN between the houses if I was closer. At this distance, maintenance would be a nightmare even though my dad and brothers are very tech savvy.
I live in Ireland, I have family in Brazil that access my server via tailscale. It's not the best experience, but I think it's the best I can do with a home hosted server. Exposing stuff to the full internet is a security nightmare.
