Is there a good way to self host a federated service at home without port forwarding? Is it possible to use cloudflare tunnels or tailscale funnel and still connect to the federation?

    In the spirit of self-hosting I am self-hosting a tool that does what you are asking for. I run frp on a cloud provider. My homelab makes an outgoing connectionusing the frp client to the frp server(s), which use that connection to forward port 443 (and any other ports I specify in the client config) into my lab. You could even terminate SSL in the cloud running nginx/Traefik/etc there, though I have chosen not to.
