My self-hosting experience is primarily with Plex and qBittorrent, but I’m trying to get a digital library set up that will be available remotely. I’ve been reading about some options, but I’m not sure about what is best to use or how to deploy it.

What is the best way to make Kavita available to remote users safely from a home server?

    VPN use will functionally make it like you’re on your home network. VPN access to your network should not be given to tons of people if at all possible.

    Note that Tailscale does not give other users access to your entire home network but just specific machines and you need to explicitly share those machines.

        Hm, in that case Tailscale isn’t quite what you want. It’s not about opening up to the internet but rather your own virtual private network (hey, a VPN) with manually approved devices.

        They do have a new Funnel feature which allows exposing specific parts to the Internet via their proxy though: https://tailscale.com/blog/introducing-tailscale-funnel
