@sebzuen regarding online access I also did the worst and the junkiest solution possible: I launched dave, a WebDAV server, on the Pi, and then hooked it through a Wireguard tunnel on a free GCP cloud instance to NGINX. So far works good, the speed is not great, but I couldn't care less since it is the junkiest setup I've ever had and the whole goal is to keep it low cost, low effort, and low maintenance.

@rcmd @sebzuen For remote access you should have a look at Tailscale if you haven’t already. It’s a VPN that offers a lot of convenience out of the box like MagicDNS. Basically what this means is that it offers you a DNS for each device that will magically resolve to a local IP if you’re at home inside the same LAN or will use a secured VPN connection if you’re away. All without you even noticing or having to change URLs. I use this for all my phones, laptops and home lab servers. #tailscale
