Just got a home-server. Immich is awesome! How's Caddy working out though? I need a way to expose immich to public internet (not just a VPN). Something like photos.domain.com

For now I'm just using Cloudflare tunnels, but ideally I also want to do that myself (without getting DDoS)

Look up mutual TLS / client authentication. Caddy and Immich supports it. Then you can expose it to the internet reasonably securely.

I am curious what you mean by doing it yourself, i.e., do you mean (as perhaps an oversimplification) having a DNS record pointing at your home IP address? What are you wanting to see as the alternative to a Cloudflare tunnel?

I mean, how do I expose my home server to the internet, without relying on externally hosted platforms like Cloudflare or Tailscale? While still minimising the risk of DoS
