Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I don't trust it's very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.
I think a reverse proxy really helps with the security concerns
Not being a network guy, it took a bit for me to get reverse proxy set up on my Synology NAS, but now all my services run through it and have LetsEncrypt certs.
Highly recommend reverse proxy to obscure your services and make it easier for friends and family to find them!
Yeah, it wasn't the easiest thing. Though, I think my biggest problem was due to docker. All of my services are in containers, reverse proxy included, and it took a bit to figure out that not all network types in docker containers can natively communicate with eachother. I think I ended up putting everything in bridged mode so they could all communicate.
You're father along in the tech than I am, so kudos! I tried docker and just couldn't get things to work how I wanted or expected. I'm sure I'll try again in the future but had a kid in 2019 so haven't really revisited it! You give me hope!!
~~Fat~~ Far out! You're like the only person I've seen mention emby. It's always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it's great.
