I think you only nginx and dns sorted if you want to go public and or super secure. I acces my servers via their tailscale host name. That includes ios linux android clients. If you don’t know what tailscale is in a few words the easiest way to access your services/servers.

I had considered not using nginx for precisely those reasons, but like the plex server i want to make it available to my family and friends and so the nginx reverse proxy build seemed to be the most widely applicable and still secure option so I only need to tell them to download audiobookshelf and point it at the correct domain name.

I seee. That’s a 100% valid reason. Im nerd(or naive) enough to grab their phones tabs etc and just add them to my tailnet and it works pretty well however I’m not sure if I cloud explain some non tech the not so technical tailscale setup either. So yeah I hear you but too noob to help lmfao

Currently I only have my fiancée on board, but the moment something requires more than setting a custom login domain and user+pass, her patience dwindles. She’s a good baseline for me to know that most people won’t be happy with a manual cryptographic handshake between contacts or fucking with IP:port settings
