Comment on Help wanted: best Home server, Nextcloud, Atomic setup with DynDNS?

Atomic automatic updates with snapshot creation? Maybe consider opensuse microOS if you are going headless…didn’t quite understand from your description. I have a VPS running microOS that has been doing its automatic updates/reboot thing for a year+ now without a single issue. Opensuse’s rolling stuff works very well, and you get native btrfs and snapper integration out of the box.
Easy to use reverse proxy - I really like Caddy. Reading/writing the config for that clicks better for me than others.
I like the novelty of using filesystem tools for backups, but can’t shake the feeling that tools like restic and borg are more widely deployed and battle tested.

Yes microOS ticks those 2 boxes.
Fedora on its own doesnt do backups at all, which I find crazy.
rpm-ostree or bootc though are better, as they allow rebasing, resetting etc. This is not possible with microOS, which is a huge dealbreaker for having a server that will never have the need to be reinstalled.
I will try Caddy! Did you use NGINX before?

Re reverse proxies, not exactly. Tried reading vanilla nginx configs and trying to understand nginx proxy manager, couldn’t grasp either. Also gave haproxy a shot.

Rebasing is not important, for the most people.
I like to try variations of the same system, like Fedora Kinoite, uBlue kinoite-main, uBlue Aurora, secureblue Kinoite-main, went back.
But resetting is the key.
Also rebasing would allow you to switch from normal deployment to a local image host, like in your LAN. This could already be worth it if all your family uses the same system, even more a company.
You can do uBlue style stuff at home on your own server, mostly with podman and buildah
