The other poster here is correct, this is just an account of my journey through self hosting traefik, and ultimately headscale, without the hurdles along the way. I tried to include a few links to unclear terms along the way in the narrative, maybe those would help you figure things out. Unfortunately I can't write for an audience of everyone, but hopefully you can still gain some value or learn some new things! Thank you for the feedback.

Ah yes, those examples were helpful and definitely helped inspire this. Glad you found some value in the ramblings. Post 2 will be up soon.
What nice feedback to read. I think you and I are aligned in what this will hopefully become. I really just wanted to start publicly sharing my hobby notes instead of holing them up in a local Joplin file or something, so that's what I'm going to do. We may have similar hobbies though, which sounds like it'll benefit you. Haha.
Excellent! Leave a note somewhere on how it measures up, I can always use more ideas!
For anyone who reads this post and sees the mention of headscale -- that was the overarching goal here but the blog post started getting long so I decided to chunk it up. As soon as I polish up the headscale writeup I've got drafted and get that posted, I'll drop a link here just in case anyone is interested.
They place arbitrary limits on home users as well, which is a secondary reason to not use it compared to open source offerings. For instance:
- you are limited to 1Gbps line speed
- you are limited to one week of analytics, with no export option, so you can't even ship them elsewhere
- there are also resource limits that prevent ram and CPU utilization
No, and that's a deficiency. Thank you for asking. I totally had this on the roadmap but let it slip. I'll work on finalizing that right now. Much appreciated!
