Hi fellow homelabbers! I hope your day / night is going great.
Just stubled across this self-hosted cloudflare tunnel alternernative called Pangolin.
-
Does anyone use it for exposing their homelab? It looks awesome, but I’ve never heard of it before.
-
Should I be reluctant since it’s developed by a US-based company? I mean security-wise. (I’ll remove this question if it’s too political.)
-
Does anyone know of alternatives pieces or stacks or software that achieve the same without relying on cloudflare?
Your insights are highly appreciated!
I have yet to get headscale to work with my system. No turnkey setup, instructions that lack clarity, and in the end… idk how it’s supposed to do the thing.
Then you can just go with Tailscale, it’s 100% turnkey and just works. Even better when combined with NextDNS
I did manage to get it to work, but I recall it took me a while. I have several devices connected to it now though. I’m keenly looking forward to the autogroup:self ACL support so I can set up sensible ACLs and share my net with some mates - I only have my own devices on it right now.
Anything I can share that might help your understanding?
Every system I can run headscale on I need to do it via an nginx reverse proxy
Yes you need a way to expose it over https. A reverse proxy is easiest. I use Caddy.
