I’m not really sure how to ask this because my knowledge is pretty limited. Any basic answers or links will be much appreciated.
I have a number of self hosted services on my home PC. I’d like to be able to access them safely over the public Internet. There are a couple of reasons for this. There is an online calendar scheduling service I would like to have access to my caldav/carddav setup. I’d also like to set up Nextcloud, which seems more or less require https. I am using http connections secured through Tailscale at the moment.
I own a domain through an old Squarespace account that I would like to use. I currently have zero knowledge or understanding of how to route my self hosted services through the domain that I own, or even if that’s the correct way to set it up. Is there a guide that explains step by step for beginners how to access my home setup through the domain that I own? Should I move the domain from Squarespace to another provider that is better equipped for this type of setup?
Is this a bad idea for someone without much experience in networking in general?
@gedaliyah after a lot of thinking I decided that only two things I need available in public internet are my searxng instance and my xmpp server. the rest, like music streaming, file sharing, home automation, etc etc etc could live happily in VPN with clients on trusted devices.
this way you don’t have to wake up every night to check, if some piece of software, which has access to your whole network, was pwned because of outdated leftpad version or something.
