Just learned how to do a reverse proxy
Just exposed Immich via a remote and reverse proxy using Caddy and tailscale tunnel. I'm securing Immich using OAuth.
I don't have very nerdy friends so not many people appreciate this.

Tailscale?
Is this setup advisable for the CGNATED environment?
You will need a VPS as your other endpoint
Ah, I figured... I used to do this with Wireguard instead of Tailscale.
This is necessary for CGNat ISPs. That or cloudflared or ngrok or the like. Because you aren't really routable on a CGNAT address.
In a nutshell, CGNAT users must spend money for something that people with IPv4 addresses can do for free 😔
We wouldn't be in this mess if we switched to ipv6, but nOoOooOo... we can't possibly do that...
Lack of routability is a feature for ISPs, not a bug.
Actually my ISP supports IPv6 (it is very erratic though) so I can access some of my services outside through it without using VPNs (only using a reverse proxy for the 443 port), but still is very annoying when I want to use them with IPv4 only networks, such as my carrier mobile data, I suffer from this especially when wanting to use Plex.
