My home server network is behind CGNAT. And therefore it is not possible for me to open ports for remote access. I have to use tunneling tools like Tailscale to connect to my home server remotely.
Tailscale has a feature called Magic DNS which allows users to use a machine name (say "ubuntu-home") to connect to their home network remotely (and locally through self hosted DNS tools like Pi Hole).
However, Tailscale does not allow subdomains with its machine names. So, the user has to resort to using subfolder reverse proxy (which is far more problematic to use than subdomain reverse proxy).
Therefore bundling a self signed certificate for a long duration would make life a lot easier for users like me who are behind CGNAT. Linuxserver already does this with their Nextcloud package.
This makes life incredibly easy for home users who don't have to worry about proper SSL certificates and the complications of subfolder reverse proxy. The certificate is generated automatically when the user creates the container and there is no configuration required.
This lengthy post is therefore a request to consider adding the option of creating a self signed certificate within the package itself, if possible.
