Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Install Tailscale (1) on the VPS and (2) in a Docker container on TrueNAS. The Tailscale container #2 will replace the cloudflared container. Set the Tailscale #2 node as a subnet router exposing the Traefik container's netmask (you probably already know how to get networking going between two Docker containers).
What you'll end up with:
Internet -> DNS (your domain) -> VPS public IP (Tailscale node #1 ===> Tailscale node #2 in Docker on TrueNas) -> Traefik -> web apps on your TrueNAS
Tailscale is not bandwidth-limited like Cloudflare because the nodes only use Tailscale's servers for the initial rendez-vous (to get out of NAT), then you will use the direct bandwidth between the VPS and your home connection.
You will also be able to use other DNS services if you want, because you won't be forced to use Cloudflare's anymore.
This actually sounds insanely cool. Without having looked at their documentation, can you make a rough statement about the required hardware power for the VPS, especially if traffic may include bandwith heavy stuff like movie streaming or large data up/downloads?
In that case you should probably give up using your own domain and take the one from Tailscale because they would intermediate direct connections whenever possible.
The main limitation on the VPS would be bandwidth as well as total transfer, not so much processing power because their just be moving stuff through. They all come with limits.
