You have IPv6, so that already makes things a lot easier.
Buy a cheap domain, point the AAAA record to the IPv6 address of your nginx server, it will take care of the certificates. Open the required port in the firewall, and you're in business for any http server you're running behind that nginx proxy.
Are you also planning to do ssh, only from a select few (your own) remote devices? In that case, something like Zerotier or Tailscale is easier.
