I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don’t have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)
Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

You use a mesh vpn with a reverse proxy? How does that work?
I run opencloud containers straight on my NAS server running ubuntu LTS, I then expose container ports on tailscale only, and then I route it via nginx proxy manager through my public VPS via tailscale.
I’m not sure. Is it public facing or not? What’s the mesh vpn for?
and so should you.
Why should I? I couldn’t read it in the post. I use nextcloud because its easy and it has caldav which I use nextcloud 50% for. The other 50 percent is thinking I have a cloud if I someday need one.

That sounds like you use the mesh vpn for managing the server, e.g. ssh, and you’ve got a server at home and route all traffic via the vps to hide your ip. Do i get it right?
OP’s setting sounded like he’s exposing his stuff publicly after routing through mesh vpn

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.
