You seem pretty focused on reverse proxies for some reason, but that isn’t security. An alternative is a VPN into your network. Simple solution that solves all of your asks if you don’t need many people accessing your services.

I would like to use tailscale for some services, but the ones I access from public computers, like nextcloud or blog hosting, can’t be behind a VPN.
I would love the Synology to Synology backup to be behind the VPN, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it working, so that is lower down on my list.
Things like Jitsi would be cool to have behind the vpn, but then I’d have to get everyone to install tailscale on their phones and configure access, so that’s going to be too complicated for me and my family unfortunately.

Why wouldn’t you just use Nextcloud talk?

My nextcloud raspberry pi server used to crash when it tried to do anything difficult, like open too many photos in a row. I adjusted some settings to try and keep it from running out of memory, but I’m not a very skilled sysadmin, and I’m using nextcloudpi now which adds another later of abstraction in an attempt to have saner defaults.

Nextcloud needs enough ram to work correctly. I wouldn’t run it on a raspberry pi.
When Nextcloud is idling it doesn’t need much but as soon as you start heavily using it or does background maintenance you are going to want more ram. The latest version fixed a lot of the high ram usage for me but it still isn’t lightweight. Also for Jitsi you are going to have the same problem as it needs lots of ram as well.
For me personally I found Nextcloud Talk to be very good and I’ve used it for meetings. You need to be aware of performance considerations but other than that I would it straight forward and easy to use.

In an ideal world I’d host on an Intel nuc or similar, but for the time being a raspberry pi 4 is all I can afford.
I think you’re right, it was running out of ram before. It hasn’t done that since I’ve moved to nextcloudpi, thankfully.
I have a separate raspi 4 with yunohost that was slated for other experimental purposes, like Jitsi, but I’m still early in that process.

Obviously you can’t help it now but going forward old enterprise machines on eBay tend to be a better deal. About the same cost but better performance and upgradability.
The downside is that you are dealing with older hardware which could have problems if it is really beat up

Thanks for the recommendation! Are there eBay search terms I should know? Used PC workstation?
