I want to expose my services publicly on my own domain name, how would you guys do that?

I have seen people using Cloudflare, but I don't want to use Cloudflare out of principle. I have also seen stuff on caddy and frp that I've done some rough researching.

What do you guys do?

I'm not behind CGNAT/double NAT but I'm curious, can you use IPv6 to bypass that?

    To some degree yes. I ran an experiment to see and found there is just too much of the existing internet infrastructure not implementing IPV6 for this to be reliable. For instance, you can't use it for email intake because only 2 major players do IPV6.

    You still get dynamic assignments from the ISP and have to automate keeping your AAAA records up to date.

    The short answer is, it depends. For what OP is doing here, I expect it would work.

    If anyone else has messed with this, I'd love to here about it. Might be good as it's own post.
