Hello everyone!
I just got ahold of a used asustor AS6202T because I have always wanted my own media server so I can stream all my movies and tv shows whenever and wherever.
So now I have done some research for how to do the remote access to jellyfin, as that is one of the key features I want.
And man, is there a lot.
I don't want to use a VPN as that feels to "clunky" so I have gone with a reverse proxy method instead.
For a (relatively) secure configuration, I need:
A reverse proxy
DDNS
A domain name
All within my NAS, as I want to avoid having some sort of server/router, in between. Mind you, I have never used a NAS.
And as much as I work in IT, it suddenly felt a bit overwhelming.
So my question, I guess, is:
Have I Bitten off more than I can chew?
Has anyone else been in my situation, and did you get it up and running or did you have to admit defeat?
Am I overthinking it?
Thanks for all the help I can get!
