Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It sounds to me that for your specific use case, the tailscale free option would be a better match. You can self host it if you would like, using headscale (involves a little more work though). It's basically like an orchestrator for wireguard tunnels.
I'm running tailscale on quite a few of my systems. I've configured the Grants (like advanced ACL's) to allow for only specific services available from certain hosts while other hosts can act as exit nodes like a VPN egress. I've found it very useful for connecting families networks up so that I can assist with remote troubleshooting help and I've used it to reach back into my own network while traveling.
Hmm, ok, I'd not thought of the remote troubleshooting part.
The NAS is at a family member's home, so the troubleshooting might come up in the future.
Thanks
