Hi,

I want to make some of my services (like Nextcloud, Immich, Komga, Jellyfin and FreshRSS for example) on my home server easier accessible from remote. For that I want to use a VPS where I install Nginx and Wireguard on it and establish a VPN connection between it and my homeserver. So far so good.

My first question: For the services that I don’t want to expose for remote access over that setup, can I just keep my Nginx instance that I have running now for these services. For example my budgeting service is available under finance.example.com as long as I’m in the same network as my home server right now. Would that still be possible when I have 2 Nginx instances running (one on the VPS and one on the home server directly) or would I need to configure it differently for that to work?

My second question:
Do I need to install Fail2Ban on my VPS or can I also install it on my homeserver?

    Well, that’s good and all, but if you want to reach some services like Jellyfin without a VPN, then you need to go this route. Because if you have some folks like your parents or friends who you want to give access to these services but they don’t want to have a VPN Then I can only think of two routes to go. The one is opening ports on your router or the second is VPN to an VPS. Or maybe have a cloudflaredtunnel setup.
