I live in a rural aussie (with no fibre options) area with the worlds shittiest internet and especially bad upload. I been self hosting a bunch of things and simply just struggling through the shit connection.
Will be getting starlink to remedy the internet issue but it seems i need a business (priority) plan to get a public ip so i can access my services from the greater internet. This is however more expensive and i would like to avoid the additional cost if possible.
I was thinking i could wireguard proxy from my server at home to a cheap/free vps to bypass the restrictions but i suspect that would mess with how nginx on my home server manages ports etc. Plus i use my own hardware not just for security but also no recurring costs otehr than power so paying for a vps just to proxy seems like a waste.
Also been having dns issues with duckdns vos dynamic ip starlink seems not to support static ips so how should i resolve this issue.
Any advice or reccommendations?
I have starlink. I use a cheap VPS. Tailscale and Reverse proxy to selfhost. I have docker running nginx proxy manager on the VPS with a could other docker containers running on the VPS like a speedtest and a few other things because I can. The heavy things like nextcloud sit at home and via the reverse proxy points it over the tailscale tunnel to my main docker.
This is what i was thinking. I dont like the idea that i will have an extra critical failure point. Btw do u know if i can avoid the vps if i do ipv6 and drop ipv4?
I don’t think so. But I haven’t tried. I use the Starlink as more of a cold failover for when my LTE/5G goes down. $40/mo vs $120/mo for same speeds and LTE/5G has better latency for me. I work (tech) from home and live rural.
With DNS-fu you could have two VPS! I saw a project somewhere for nginx proxy manager that clones the settings. Then your only failure point would be the local tailscale.
