Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April
couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks agoMy home connection is behind cgnat so I got a free VPS from oracle, install caddy on VPS, install tailscale on VPS and router, expose routes from LAN to tailscale network.
Now you can use caddy to expose, for example, a docker container (jellyfin) at 192.168.1.100 to subdomain.exampledomain.com with ssl cert provided by caddy.
VPS also requires some other stuff like ddclient and fail2ban.
I pieced this all together myself… it’s doable if you spend some time reading.
