Or you could use ssh or a vpn

For remote access I would recommend using Tailscale or the self-hosted equivalent Headscale.
It’s extremely easy to set up and much more secure than opening ports.
Here is the instructions to install and setup Tailscale tailscale.com/download/

Tailscale is a VPN.

I’m aware that tailscale is a vendor locked version of wireguard. However, that doesn’t change the fact that ssh is sometimes the easiest way to get remote access.
If you want to take the wireguard route you can either setup wireguard yourself or use something like netbird.

Is Headscale comparable to NetBird?

People suggest this all the time, but it’s only useful if you’re the only one who is going to be accessing your library externally. Otherwise you have to get family or friends who you let access your server to use it anytime they want to stream, and that’s far easier said than done. They have to know what they’re doing.
It also means they can’t stream on their smart TVs or streaming boxes. You know, the things most people will want to watch this content on.
