There in lays my issue. I gotta cough up money monthly for a VPS, or run a public facing server from my home. Last time I did that from my house I was hacked in such a glorious manner that I swore I would never do it again.

This project though is pretty amazing. If I ever have a FOSS project that I start paying for a vps service again. It is totally going on it.

Thank you for sharing.

It can absolutely be on a private LAN. I access a local server on my network via Tailscale from outside the house. No public IP.

Holy shitballs. Gonna do some experimenting this weekend.

Know of any tutorials on how you accomplished this goal gracefully?

Yep I was totally wrong up above; **tailscale** absolutely works on local lan! It's the app that punches through routers no matter where your device goes. It's the whoke point, and it works great!

(I had posted about headscale today too in another note, which does need a public IP, so I got confused)

The tailscale documentation on their website is very good, they have plenty of use-case tutorials.
