I had gotten Pihole to work at home but it always start disconnecting after a while.
I had gotten reverse proxy to work one time by accident, for like a day, and then it didn't work again.
This week, I finally pulled the trigger and got a vps online. I used Jim's Garage's Ultimate Torrent VPS setup: https://github.com/JamesTurland/JimsGarage/blob/main/UltimateVPS/docker-compose-VPS.yaml , had to change some settings but got it up and running pretty easily. Now my home is using Pihole on the vps through Wireguard, the apps on the server all get FQDN reverse proxied only reachable through Wireguard. I'm happy.

Next step, I wonder if this Traefik reverse proxy can also point FQDNs to my home hosted apps too so I can access them just like the one hosted on the vps? Or am I not thinking about this right? Should I install the same Traefik container at home instead? I'm not sure what's the best way to do that.
