Hi, I know this topic has been talked about 70 thousand times but I’m still not sure.

I have home server on an intel NUC behind the ISP router. On it I have the standard arr apps, jellyfin, pi-hole etc etc. I would like to access them through a domain rather than an IP. So I set them up in docker, behind traefik, behind authelia and behind cloudflare. I am the only one that uses it.

Now, I’m worried about the security of it all. I’ve been searching here and there and I’ve read about cf tunnels, wireguard server, vps, vlan, OPNsense etc etc. I still don’t know what would be the most secure. Should I just stay with what I have?

EDIT: I’m not behind CGNAT

    First off, don’t expose anything that doesn’t need exposed. If your the only one using it you could use a VPN or ssh.

    Second off, make sure you isolate everything with firewalls. Your reverse proxy should only have access to each service and each service should only have access to the reverse proxy. You should also block non essential ports.

    For the services themselves, make sure you use strong passwords and keep them updated. For docker you can use watchtower to automatically pull and deploy software.
