This posts lists inexpensive home servers, Tailscale and Claude Code as the big unlocks.

I actually think Tailscale may be an even bigger deal here than sysadmin help from Claude Code at al.

The biggest reason I had not to run a home server was security: I'm worried that I might fall behind on updates and end up compromised.

Tailscale dramatically reduces this risk, because I can so easily configure it so my own devices can talk to my home server from anywhere in the world without the risk of exposing any ports on it directly to the internet.

Being able to hit my home server directly from my iPhone via a tailnet no matter where in the world my iPhone might be is really cool.

Tailscale is a good first step, but its best to configure wireguard directly on your router. You can try headscale but it seems to be more of a hobby project - so native wireguard is the only viable path. Most router OS's supports wireguard these days too. You can ask claude to sanity check your configuration.
