Hey folks,
I‘m new in the HomeServer business. So I started with two little applications on my Proxmox: paperless and do most
In the next time I’ll start a little project to collaborate more. Current I connect to my HomeServer with VPN. But if other people start connecting to my instance it would be useful to get an other secure system.
What is the way you prefer to give other people like your fam or friends access to your services (e. g. nextcloud)?
Thanks for helping an newbie!


I’ve been preferring mTLS recently. I still use a VPN for management, SMB/NFS, and anything important. But I use mTLS for web services that I’d like to access without having a VPN active all the time. Although, if your web service had a mobile app, usually they don’t play nicely with mTLS, so a VPN would be required for me, but Home Assistant and TrilliumDroid do have mTLS support.
Do you happen to know of any guides on setting mTLS up?
I didn’t find much other than descriptions of the technology from my search, but I’m probably not using the right terms.
