I'm a professional DevOps worker, and I recently got back into building my own services in the cloud, and I discovered Oracle Cloud Free Tier. It is full of goodies I couldn't resist, especially since my own personal server at home had gone down. In my quest to ensure that I spend absolutely no time in a terminal, I came across this other application called Cosmo Cloud that works a lot like CasaOS. It's got some bells and whistles, though, that CasaOS is missing like a secure reverse proxy complete with an application shield to prevent malicious attacks, central user management through the use of OpenID, multiple URLs can be locked down to individual users, and Cosmo offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to adding containers to your server.

Since it took me a couple of days to build a server, I thought I would write it down in a guide so I wouldn't forget it, and it's occurred to me that other people might appreciate some instructions on how to get all this configured securely.

This guide includes using cloudflare tunnels as the way to expose internet services as it adds another layer of protection between your server and the internet.

I've reviewed it pretty thoroughly but I probably wrote something down wrong or maybe I mistyped something. If you have any questions or need any help getting things configured, reach out to me and I'll do what I can.
