Do you have a reasonably fixed IPv6 address for your Pi?
Then your clients could access your books over IPv6 (if your router allows pass trough to your Pi.)

I just successfully created a tunnel through cloudflare. It was their 'test' tunnel and does not yet connect to CW, which is of course the whole idea.
No port-forwarding means I have to use some method to get around that, and researching it, many suggested a cloudflare tunnel (free!) would do the trick. And yes, some have suggested it won't work reliably. We shall see.
The CW users who will login remotely are not going to be streaming video, or even music, but just downloading mostly small, 1MB or so files, with an occasional .pdf magazine that could be 200MB or so. So what level of reliability will I need for that kind of activity? Dunno, but will find out.
The other negative comments on using a tunnel on the T-Mobile cellular network is that my public IP address may not really be my public IP address due to some quirk in the way they do double nat and/or IPV6. I haven't a clue if a tunnel will work that way or not, but other comments I have run across says it can be done. And if I can't do in with Cloudflare, then given their network chops, it may not be able to be done.
Anyway, got the test tunnel going, so now going to go through the docs on how to connect it to my web app, CW. Both Cloudflared and CW are in containers, so will have to link them somehow. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks...
