Hello!

I have Jellyfin running locally on my linux pc, in a docker container but I also use Mullvad vpn. I’m still newish to linux but I can access jellyfin through my lan. I am at a total loss with how to remotely access it remotely and securely. I think I need to split tunnel jellyfin but I also run arr apps in other containers. Maybe gluetun? I cant find a guide that tells me for sure but it sounds like what I may need

I have been through several guides for different methods but I’m at a loss on what to do.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Nice explanation =). I am not OP but I am curious about one point: you seem to have the reverse proxy on your homeserver, not on the VPS.

    Is wireguard enough then to tunnel HTTPS traffic to your reverse proxy? Or do you need a more sophiscated tunnel (e.g. ngrok, boringproxy).

    P.S. I actually assumed that your VPN entry point is a VPS with a public, static IP. Therefore I understood that your were talking about two servers: the home server with the reverse proxy and a VPS as wireguard entry point. Please correct if this is wrong.

      Hi there ! Sorry my English is not that good, but I’m doing the best I can !

      Actually, I do not have a VPS. I use an old spare laptop as server which handles everything.

      I have Wireguard barebone installed with a a second external wireguard interface and some iptables to send all traffic to ProtonVPN.

      All my containers,on the same laptop, are directly reachable via this configuration and HTTPS is handle by Treafik with my self-signed local certificates (root CA with intermediate CA).

      Eg: From my mobile over WiFi or 4G I can access all my containers where ever I’m. My endpoint in my Wireguard’s confirguration (on my phone) being my home’s public IP.

      I hope I answered your question? If not I’m willing to give you a diagram of my setup, this will probably clear up the confusion/question? And will probably be way more explicit than my broken English 😄.

        You perfectly answered my question, thanks! You’re fortunate to have a public IP at home. Many self-hosters need a VPS just for the public IP 👌 I had thought this was your case.
