not the commenter your responding but yes with proper setup travel is no issue.
I've never tried to host in the cloud so I have no input on that, but locally + tailscale is very doable and pretty dead simple to setup and manage.
I would highly recommend the linuxserver.io docker image. with a modern cpu and the docker image, transcoding won't be too much of an issue with most titles and only one or two users. my server has media only in hevc, so some clients need transcoding. my 3700k is perfectly fine with it.
if you want to expose it to a domain you gotta be a little more careful, reverse proxy + an external auth provider like authentik at minimum is what I would suggest. fail2ban and anubis are also great ideas.
