Goofed Home

Hi,

I an currently trying to add remote access to 2 of my servers but didn’t manage to get a working setup as is.

Right now I want to access 2 servers: * one is for media stuff (navidrome, jellyfin, managing the arr stack) * one is for my data syncing with rsync and after set a backup from borg to another server not on my domain

I was trying at some point to add stuff such as tailscale, but somehow I always had issues with having both servers reachable within the IP range I use on my local network, so everything would work as is with the current config at home being away. I have also heard of cloudflare tunnels as well, but that I didn’t try yet. At some point I tried to do just a regular wireguard from my opnsense, but I would prefer not to have open ports to worry about (and also had issues with internal IP not being assigned from wireguard as well).

Does anyone here has experience with this? If so, what was your solution and/or caviats to it?

Yup. It gets more involved once you start adding DNS and SSL. But if you’re ok typing IPs and you’re not opening your firewall to the public, it’s all you really need.

You should keep trying with tailscale, did you read the docs? (tailscale provides amazing documentation), you dont need to install the client on every device, for that use subnet routers, all is in the docs. Give it another try and post back what issues you are having.

Great point. But to be honest I already have an emulator open 99% of the time. So there’s no particular overhead for me. But I will include your point in the update. Thank you for your time!
