This is cool! I came up with something similar for hosting a few personal sites from my home network, except I did it the other way around - I built a docker image that does the SSH tunneling part. The external host is just a cheap droplet with GatewayPorts set to yes in the sshd config. A benefit of doing it this way is that you don't even have to expose localhost; I have Caddy running in another container in a docker-compose.yml file, so I can forward it directly with:

  ssh -R 80:caddy:80 -R 443:caddy:443

So all the networking happens within the network created by docker-compose.

Nice, that's something that's useful too. I think this is especially important as it pertains to home services/exposed things. I just wanted to build my own tools around it mainly for the virtual hosting/websockets support. Also I just find these things fun to write and figure out :)
