  • I don’t use tailscale but this doesn’t make sense.

    If the only remote access is via tailscale then chromecast also has to be on tailscale, which isn’t easy to do.

    To cast from your jellyfin to another tv, you need to setup a reverse proxy om your server to allow external access to jellyfin.

    A lot of threads on jellyfin keep recommending tailscale which is easier to setup but more limiting.

    I would recommend searching for tutorials about setting up a reverse proxy like caddy to NPM and then accessing jellyfin though a URL. That way you can give access to other people and also cast to a friends TV.

    Same situation for things like immich if you ever want to share an album with a friend.

















  • I also would like to know what the desktop app is used for?

    I’ve seen apps like xpipe that have direct Bitwarden integration if you want (way too high risk for me but I can see some people using it), but even then it integrates directly to the servers API. When I need an ssh password or something I copy and paste it from the browser extension. I’m curious if I’m missing some functionality by not using the app.



  • To be fair i really like having a separate nas to my main docker/proxmox applications server. It allows me to mess around with my services or restart the system while not having to mess with the more sensitive spinning drives or important services like pihole.

    Also gives me a nice method for local backup in 3-2-1 method.

    That being said, I wouldn’t recommend this for someone just starting out.

    If anyone is wondering, I have the docker container itself mount the NFS share from the Unraid NAS. My docker server is all nvme ssds for things like the app itself and its config. Large data sets like photos and media are in the same via NFS.
