Cool, been thinking of doing the same on a cheap VPS.

In fairness I did mention a VPS option, though specifically for hosting.
Was thinking of something similar instead of NGrok myself, just passing
80, 443, etc to my local system(s) where 80/443 would be a configured
reverse-proxy on my local side.
Probaly Caddy over NginX as it's much easier to configure/use.
