That's essentially what I do (with a little extra step of having a dedicated server in Hetzner peered with my homelab with wireguard to use as internet facing proxy + offsite backup server).

Ah, also docker is managed with komo.do, but otherwise it is simple GUI over docker-compose

That's cool... I really should take a next step to bridge my home setup with my OVH server. It's a mixed bag, mostly in that the upgrade to "business" class from home is more than what I pay a month to rent the full server and IP block on OVH... But I've got a relatively big NAS at home I wouldn't mind leveraging more/better.

Aside: I really want to like NextCloud, but as much as I like aspects of it, I don't like plenty as well.

I don't mean proper L2 bridging, I do it with wireguard, as I am behind CGNAT at home.

It's mostly to unify VLANs and simplify management (i.e everything is routed through my main router, rather than loose tunnels on servers/vm's)
