  • I’m not happy with Bazzite for this purpose. Its previous purpose was to be a game console, but I’m reassured by the recommendations for Debian.

    Then use a GUI. The extra memory used is trivial and your system will be way over-powered for a reverse proxy to a home network anyway.

    It will be more than just a reverse proxy, but I suspect it will still be more than powerful enough for the extras. Thanks.

    Are you going to update frequently?

    Yes, just so long as I’m the boss. I don’t want any downtime that I’m not in control of.

    Your DNS servers would be the ones where you register your domain.

    The tutorials I’d been looking at were showing them overriding the DNS servers at the domain registrar with servers from Cloudflare or elsewhere. Is that just because there may not be an automated way to update the IP dynamically with the domain registrar, but there is for Cloudflare?



  • I think the tunnel method you’re suggesting is different than what I’m after, and a lot of the “complexity” in learning this stuff is coming from all the different methods we have available to achieve similar results. I ought to be able to just expose 443 once I’m fully up and running, and it will route to the various services through the reverse proxy and subdomains. My “zero trust” separation for security ought to be my VLANs. So if I’m not going exactly that route, where would my DNS servers come from, and why would I need something other than what’s there by default?

    I know the CLI is effective. My daily driver has been Kubuntu since 2017, and I dabbled with Ubuntu for a decade before that. But I’m so much slower on the command line, because I have to think so much harder about each command, and the outputs are often unintuitive to read and parse out what I’m looking for.
