I set up a new home server recently using containerized services, and I wanted to share what I learned. Nothing here is revolutionary, but this is the type of resource I wish I had when I started.
I’m open to feedback on what I could have done better!
I am familiar with tunnels in general, though I haven’t seen Cloudfare’s offering. I’m with the sibling comment that it’s another external dependency when my goal is to self host more. But that’s a tool I’ll keep in mind!
I’ll have to check out Caddy plugins! One I saw called the docker command to discover exposed ports, meaning it depends on Docker explicitly. I’ll see what I can dig up wrt Podman. This sounds very interesting. Thanks!

Great read, thanks for sharing
I would recommend using Ansible to manage your containers and infrastructure in general. It has quite a steep learning curve, but it’s worth it!
I am saving this post for the future, informative! Thanks!
