[Question] Best way to access Jellyfin remotely on linux + docker + vpn? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello!

I have Jellyfin running locally on my linux pc, in a docker container but I also use Mullvad vpn. I'm still newish to linux but I can access jellyfin through my lan. I am at a total loss with how to remotely access it remotely and securely. I think I need to split tunnel jellyfin but I also run arr apps in other containers. Maybe gluetun? I cant find a guide that tells me for sure but it sounds like what I may need

I have been through several guides for different methods but I'm at a loss on what to do.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So I'm pretty new to self hosting as well, but I use Tailscale. They also have the option of working with Mullvad, though I'm not 100% on how that works. Tailscale is a VPN itself, and it's allowed me to access all of my self hosted stuff everywhere, including on my phone. It's been really nice, though I understand people might not want to use corporate methods.

Gluetun to my knowledge, when I use it, is just for my qbittorrent stack to access my VPN.

If you don't want to use something like Tailscale (there's also a self hosted option called Headscale, and others like Zerotier and I think Netbird?) there's opening ports and using reverse proxies. I would be really careful about that one, but hopefully I've given you some options to look into.
