Tried some times to get a home server up and running but never followed it through, last week got some time, grabbed my new rasberry pi 5 8GB (it’s a f*cking beast) and came up with this setup.

Nothing unusual besides the podman quadlets/systemd thingies which I did not saw much out there.

Any tips and services recommendations?

I heard tailscale/headscale was easier to setup, but other than that is there really a benefit over wireguard?

Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.
