I have an openwrt router at home which also acts as my home server. It’s running a bunch of services using docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.)

I have set up an SSH tunnel between my openwrt router and VPS and can access jellyfin successfully.

I understand that I need to set up a reverse proxy to access multiple services and have https.

But I’m confused if I should set up this reverse proxy on the VPS or on the router itself. Is nginx the easiest option? Should i add subdomains in cloudflare for every service?

Pease don’t recommend vpns since they are all blocked where i live (wireguard, tailscale openVPN, etc.) I’m limited to using ssh tunneling only.

Thanks

    Firstly…why are you routing your home stuff through a VPS? I’m confused on what is happening here.

    If you just want to access your things remotely, setup a VPN server on the router, and connect to it that way. You also dont need a reverse proxy or SSL if you’re already accessing things over a secured connection. Where did you get this info from?
