I honestly need to learn your ways and sell the rack of stuff in my basement. Right now I’ve got an old R720XD with 12 spinning metal drives and 2 SSDs, then another old Intel box the local government used for VOIP (I’ve only got 7 spinng rust and 1 SSD in there), then the R610 that I use for homeassistant and a few VMs…

I’ve also got a smaller desktop for jellyfin/Plex and an old MicroServer (gen8) for a firewall…

I could 100% save some power I just need to learn what I actually need.

I’ve been using B for so long it’s just muscle memory at this point. No real reason beyond my NCO saying it was the right way.

Sounds like an awesome setup, but I’ll stick with remembering the IP:port, its just easier for me to remember numbers than whatever words I used when I set it up.

Makes sense, I do something similar but just for things I want to access externally. I started adding some internal only ones but ultimately decided I was too lazy to remember the names and already knew the IPs/ports.

I’m just curious about the reason for both a reverse proxy and wireguard? If using a proxy (Nginx/etc), I would expect it to be exposed to the internet.

Late to the party but congrats on getting them up! Might I also suggest bazarr (github.com/morpheus65535/bazarr) so you don’t have to find subtitles manually.

If you aren’t a fan of RustDesk, one alternative that I’ve used a bit is Remotely (https://github.com/immense/Remotely). Me and a few people were using it but most of them went to RustDesk.

If RustDesk doesn’t do what you need, Remotely worked great for me and helping a few family members (though probably a bit more features than you may need).

Nginx Proxy Manager, really any reverse proxy would be fine, but I’m partial to Nginx.

I access it via NPM the same as I access most of the rest of my services. As far as I’ve been able to tell, unauthenticated viewing can happen on Jellyfin, but the person trying to access it will need to know the path that Jellyfin uses to access the media. If you already know my internal file paths, you can watch it from my server I suppose.

I quit using Plex for my own enjoyment a year or two ago when my work decided to block Plex.tv, I can still reach my personal server as it’s accessible to the internet, but I cannot login as that requires being able to access Plex’s authentication servers. At least with Jellyfin I can use my own Authentik instance for auth.
