So I have a group of folks who I'd love to let in on some services for fun, but I'm figuring out the best way for me to do it. So far I've been using Tailscale to access my stuff from outside of my network and I like what I've done with it.
I've got a mix of technical and non-technical folks, so I have to make the solutions not horribly complex. I've considered a couple of ideas so far but want to hear what other folks are doing and how/why:
- Paying a couple of bucks per month to add folks to Tailscale. It has worked great for me and I don't think anyone would be particularly averse.
- Spinning up Headscale in a VPS. Same difference, although maybe a touch of complexity since I'd probably also want a domain, etc. Not sure if the magicDNS would work the same.
- Spinning up a Wireguard bastion VPS and putting everyone on a Wireguard network (this is a little complex, I'll have to make sure I don't have IP conflicts across the network?)
- Setting up a VPS and using as a reverse proxy for everything. (Don't love the idea of having any internet facing auth stuff, plus would probably chew up the bandwidth of the VPS?)
- Something I haven't thought of?
Let me know what everyone is doing, what's worked or hasn't, what's easiest, etc!
