We’ve integrated a new REST API and embedded web server directly into the pihole-FTL binary. This eliminates the need for lighttpd and PHP, reducing the installation footprint and boosting performance.
Very nice!

I host Caddy and Vaultwarden using Docker. The traffic into the reverse proxy, Caddy, works over port 443, not 1808 or 1443. Using the Caddyfile, you can tell Caddy which port to send the traffic over.
Caddy docker-compose.yml
services:
caddy:
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
Caddyfile, although there are other ways to do this
*.example.com {
@vaultwarden host vaultwarden.example.com
handle @vaultwarden {
reverse_proxy :11808
}
Vaultwarden docker-compose.yml
services:
vaultwarden:
ports:
- 11808:80
I think it's cool you're trying to find ways to get into this. If the goal is to learn, why not deploy the services on your laptop? They won't be available when the computer is off of course, but you would still get the full experience. Even a low-spec laptop will be better than a cheap VPS.
As others have said, Nextcloud for files/calendar and Tailscale for VPN is your answer.
Nextcloud can be installed in several ways, one of which is Docker Compose. Docker Compose is flexible but requires learning a bit, although you can use it for most self-hosted software.
