Tailscale could probably be easier but I wanted to make it easy for my parents.
I was trying to set it up via Reverse Proxy in Caddy. My stupid NAS has proprietary software and the only way to do it is in Docker but their version of docker has some wonky issues with ports.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve tinkered with it but I plan on pulling it up today. If I remember right, it works fine if I launch it as a singular container by itself, but if I launch it inside a container with multiple apps, it says the ports are in use. I verified that no other app is using the ports. I checked in the CLI and it says containers is using the port. Very weird.
Following tutorials and researching online had been helpful by my NAS uses QNAP’s QTS operating system. It locks you out of many basic functions. I can’t install apps outside of its App Store unless it’s in a docker container, for example.
Many command line functions have also been removed so when I’m troubleshooting or looking for alternate fixes, I’m blocked out.
I can use docker compose. I need them on the same container so they can see the other apps exist and direct traffic there. Or that I as my understanding.
I tried setting up Caddy on a separate container as Jellyfin but that didn’t work.
It’s not easy trying to set up VPN or a reverse proxy, dynamic DNS and so on if you want secure access for more than yourself l, that is true. I hope they can figure out a way to make that process a lot easier.
Actually, using an LLM to walk you through the process of setting up jellyfin inside a docker container (and setting up the arr stack) and all of that makes things a lot easier than trying to figure it all out on your own.
That was a big reason I went with Emby. Not open source, but wasn’t necessary to me, and I wanted a cloud connect function that it handled well. And not all devices have a Jellyfin app that’s easy to install. My TV would require it to be rooted.
Setting up Jellyfin to be accessible outside of my home network has been a huge pain in the ass.
Not Jellyfin’s fault tho. I wish there was an easier way
I don’t mind paying a seedbox company to provide me with a box with qbittorrent and emby and other stuff I don’t use
I use tailscale and NPM to reverse proxy.
When I want to watch, I turn on the VPN and go to the app. Easy peazy

Oh, I use caddy too. What gave you trouble?

You nas doesn’t support docker compose? Its kind of the only reason why you’d want to have several processes on the same container.
Ps.: can you ssh in?

Would a docker-compose.yaml like this one work? https://privatebin.net/?1d1d30a1e92a974a#JDwvxcmJyjwmhir4YFvVrRGhn7fUJNqgTbrmgBYe1etC I just basically ripped that off my working setup. This sets up two containers that can see each other

Have to agree. I hate LLM but this is a good use for it.
Happy cake day! Thanks for the info!
