I just learned how to do a reverse proxy using Caddy, tailscale tunnel, and exposing Immich secured by OAuth all in a few hours. Now I’m no longer scared of exposing certain services to the Internet!
Yes, its been a long time. But I still remember every line. You remember your first? Mine was some NGINX proxy at the Battle of Netflix.
My server took an arrow from my ISP so I was on foot, slogging through the configuration files. Tech support came running at me, this dumb corporate policy, thinking they could end the rebellion with a single policy blocking port forwarding.
I knocked them with the tailscale. Gods I was strong then. Caved in their double NAT. Probably shattered every iptable they had.
Stood over them, keyboard in the air. Right before I brought it down they said “Wait, wait!”
They never tell you how they all shit themselves. They don’t put that part in the songs. Stupid ISP.
Congrats!
Congratulations!! It took me ages to figure out the concept and how it works in practice, and reached the same conclusion as you! It’s nice feeling more secure and also having more freedom over routing
