Is there a good guide on how to access services from outside my network? (self.selfhosted)

I have Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Overseerr etc running in Docker containers, but have never found a good guide on how to access these (safely) from outside. I resort to connecting to a server running VNC. I've tried nginx but didn't understand it, also tried Cloudflare (ditto). Is there a good, easy to understand guide on how to do this?

@[email protected] Caddy is a good, and can be a easy to use reverse proxy. But imo, now days tailscale or cloudflare tunnels are super easy to setup and work very well.

VPN is a more oldschool approach but can still work very well, wireguard or OpenVPN are two options to look at.
