Raspberry Pi on Internet via reverse SSH tunnel

HackerNews discussed this with many alternative solutions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24893615

I already have my own domain name: mydomain.com. I wanted to be able to run some webapps on my Raspberry Pi 4B running perpetually at home in headless mode (just needs 5W power and wireless internet). I wanted to be able to access these apps from public Internet. Dynamic DNS wasn't an option because my ISP blocks all incoming traffic. ngrok would work but the free plan is too restrictive.

I bought a cheap 2GB RAM, 20GB disk VM + a 25GB volume on Hetzner for about 4 EUR/month. Hetzner gave me a static IP for it. I haven't purchased a floating IP yet.

First create global variables (in functions.php or as a mu-plugin):

<?php

/*
 * CUSTOM GLOBAL VARIABLES
 */
function wtnerd_global_vars() {

-<?php
-require dirname(__FILE__).'/wp-blog-header.php';
-//Removing attributes (does not work for some reason, should read up on https://www.webhat.in/article/woocommerce-tutorial/how-product-attribute-are-stored-in-database/)
-$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM wp_terms WHERE term_id IN (SELECT term_id FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy LIKE 'pa_%')");
-$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy LIKE 'pa_%'");
-$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM wp_term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id NOT IN (SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_term_taxonomy)");
-//Removing products and product variations
