Just do Caddy instead of nginx/cerbot all that garbage. Caddy just simply handles it all for you: Subdomains, wildcard certs, authentication, ssl

My whole caddy config file is like 6 lines; something like

@mydomain.com {

ipaddress:port

path:/

}

And you can do all sorts of plugins that make it compatible with fail2ban, etc.

I hear Traefik is pretty easy to set up too.

I don’t even know why everyone keeps getting these no-name bullshit tlds. .com is $12/yr, it basically never changes…

So you run everything through a VPS? Is that so very hard? You don’t use the VPS directly, you use it for the RDNS and static IP.

‘the cloud’ is just someone else’s computer. The cheapest way is always going to be to use your own hardware. Get into homelabbing :D

My domain is just used so I can reverse-proxy my homelab for people who don’t know anything about vpn, etc.
