Hey everyone. This is probably a super noob question, but I’m very much just an amateur when it comes to self-hosting.
I host several services that I access locally through 192.whatever:####, and when I occasionally need remote access, I use Tailscale and access through 100.whatever: ####. The duplicate bookmarks is mildly annoying though.
Can I just buy a personal domain, and have all my services be coolname.com:#### for both local and Tailscale access? Is that as simple a process as I want it to be?
Edit: I appreciate all the comments and I’ll probably just use Tailacale’s MagicDNS for simplicity, but one or my (unwritten, my bad) goals was to have one URL that works locally and remotely, regardless of Tailscale. I don’t leave Tailscale constantly connected because it overheats my phone (which already has terrible battery life).
Feeling safe on the internet is the first step of beeng fried from the Internet.
So you should add a part about Backups…
Well yes I have backups I wish I could say I follow the 3-2-1 rule but I am following more of a 2-2-1 rule for things that cannot be recovered if lost. My aim is to have a 2-2-2 setup next week hopefully.
