Hi fellow homelabbers! I hope your day / night is going great.
Just stubled across this self-hosted cloudflare tunnel alternernative called Pangolin.
-
Does anyone use it for exposing their homelab? It looks awesome, but I’ve never heard of it before.
-
Should I be reluctant since it’s developed by a US-based company? I mean security-wise. (I’ll remove this question if it’s too political.)
-
Does anyone know of alternatives pieces or stacks or software that achieve the same without relying on cloudflare?
Your insights are highly appreciated!
Pangolin is the most user friendly self hosted alternative to Cloudflare tunnels. There are dozens alternatives, but none with that feature set and such a UI.
Thanks for the list! Do you use Pangolin yourself?
No, since at the moment it wants to manage certificates, but I don’t intend to run pangolin as my main reverse proxy.
Using it for several weeks now. Very happy with it, especially now that it is integrated with OAuth, so SSO for getting through Pangolin itself and then on all the services it routes to.
That sounds awesome! No issues at all so far?
None so far. And I am using pretty much all the features.
It is also great for my current migration from docker compose to kubernetes.
A newt client on both and I can just switch on the pangolin side.
Pangolin is my next homelab project. I can’t wait to give it a go. If anyone has any advise or guides it’d be appreciated
I don’t know of alternatives
Pangolin, while u.s. based does not appear to serve the state of its interests
I am not aware of a direct peer, but tailscale, a bastion hosting a direct VPN or remote reverse proxy to your homelab are all similar. Pangolin seemingly combines the best and more of these scenarios
