a cookbook style guide for carefully reverse-proxying services from your firewall-isolated home lan to a cheap vps via wireguard

i haven't found one yet. if it doesn't exist, i want to learn how, then do it, then write it for other would-be self-hosters

apprehension about pointing internet miscreants directly at my cable modem is what deters me from hosting services out of my hypothetical basement

after that, a guide for sharing one cheap vps among many self-hosters who want to do the same?

@pho4cexa oof this is almost a callout post for me :P

pixie.town has been running like this for multiple years now, with servers at home proxied through a vps with wireguard. I just haven't had the spoons to properly write about it other than one-off conversations.
I also got started on a project to allow the latter, sharing such a vps among hosters in a userfriendly configurable way but that too got stranded a while ago

@pho4cexa as for static downtime pages, setting a custom 502/504 page in nginx usually works well
