Hey folks,

I‘m new in the HomeServer business. So I started with two little applications on my Proxmox: paperless and do most

In the next time I’ll start a little project to collaborate more. Current I connect to my HomeServer with VPN. But if other people start connecting to my instance it would be useful to get an other secure system.

What is the way you prefer to give other people like your fam or friends access to your services (e. g. nextcloud)?

Thanks for helping an newbie!

I don't give access to any of my services to anyone, especially family or friends. LOL However, you could investigate Tailscale, Headscale, Wireguard. Additionally, if you set up Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust, you can give individual users a unique access to your server. For example: You can allow alice@mysupercoolserver.com to access https://home.mysupercoolserver/shell but deny bob@mysupercoolserver.com. Only allow bob access only to https://home.mysupercoolserver/media.
