Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or _?_ on _?_?

If you're worried about costs, I run Nextcloud locally in my house, and just deal with the fact it's not externally available.

I do the same but then have a VPN so I can reach it externally. One more thing to maintain but worth it.

Tailscale works great for this application.

I second this. I was using a Cloudflare Tunnel, which worked but meant I had to jump through some hoops setting up an email auth flow that then sent me a verification code

Now I use Tailscale (which is free for a single-user account) and it works excellently, without the Cloudflare dependency. No login necessary through the browser like with Cloudflare Tunnel, because you're already authed with Tailscale on the device.

I use this with Resilio Sync and custom dns names from Tailscale Magic DNS - life saver!
