Access Jellyfin and Nextcloud remotely?

Underpay@feddit.nl to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 19 points –

Running a TrueNAS Scale server with Jellyfin and planning to add Nextcloud. How would I be able to access these services from outside my network? I have heard portforwarding is unsafe and a VPN seems inconvenient to me.

It’s literally takes 2 clicks to tunnel via a VPN

Setting up, configuring and maintaining it is kind of a pain. I am unware of a 2 click option. I put my whole network on a self hosted VPN so I was probably doing it in a more complicated way than I needed

Not to mention that not every client has software available.

That's true. I only use my vpn when I'm out of the house. And the only devices I have with me are my phone/laptop which both have official apps.

In android, for the wireguard/openvpn apps, you can add a button to your swipe down menu (where you toggle on/off wifi, flashlight, etc).
