Either tailscale or cloudflare tunnels are the most adapted solution as other comments said.

For tailscale, as you already set it up, just make sure you have an exit node where your services are. I had to do a bit of tinkering to make sure that the ips were resolved : its just an argument to the tailscale command.

But if you dont want to use tailscale because its to complicated to your partner, then cloudlfare tunnels is the other way to go.

How it works is by creating a tunnel between your services and cloudlare, kind of how a vpn would work. You usually use the cloudlfared CLI or directly throught Cloudflare’s website to configure the tunnel. You should have a DNS imported to cloudflare by the way, because you have to do a binding such as : service.mydns.com -> myservice.local Cloudlfare can resolve your local service and expose it to a public url.

Just so you know, cloudlfare tunnels are free for some of that usage, however cloudlfare has the keys for your ssl traffic, so they in theory could have a look at your requests.

best of luck for the setup !

Hello @theit8514

You are actually spot on ^^

I did look in my exports file which was like so :/mnt/DiskArray 192.168.0.16(rw) 192.168.0.65(rw)

I added a localhost line in case: /mnt/DiskArray 127.0.0.1(rw) 192.168.0.16(rw) 192.168.0.65(rw)

It didn’t solve the problem. I went to investigate with the mount command:

• Will mount on 192.168.0.65: mount -t nfs 192.168.0.55:/mnt/DiskArray/mystuff/ /tmp/test

• Will NOT mount on 192.168.0.55 (NAS): mount -t nfs 192.168.0.55:/mnt/DiskArray/mystuff/ /tmp/test

• Will mount on 192.168.0.55 (NAS): mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/mnt/DiskArray/mystuff/ /tmp/test

The mount -t nfs 192.168.0.55 is the one that the cluster does actually. So i either need to find a way for it to use 127.0.0.1 on the NAS machine, or use a hostname that might be better to resolve

EDIT:

I was acutally WAY simpler.

I just added 192.168.0.55 to my /etc/exports file. It works fine now ^^

Thanks a lot for your help@theit8514@lemmy.world !

Hello ! First question would be : why buy an external drive if you are buying a NAS in the first place ?

Just in case: there are 2 slots available in the NAS you sent, meaning you could buy 2 internal drives for its storage.

On the hosting part, Jellyfin might be able to run judging by the specifications of the NAS. However, you have to take into account if the NAS operating system can run it (maybe there is an app store for it like Synology) and also media transcoding might be limited (to easily stream around your house 4K content for exemple)
