Hi All, I know it was asked multiple times but I’m a noob.

What is the best way to access my server from external network? I know I can open a port on router (not recommended), Tailscales, Wireguard or Direct VPN. I will access from android phone and maybe from other devices.

What I want to try to access (mainly docker on NAS)

  • bitwarden
  • calibre
  • setup home assistant
  • possibly RSS server
  • nextcloud
  • plex server (already remote access)
  • maybe docker apps too

Thanks

    Yep. You need at least one forwarded port to at least one “endpoint”.

    What exactly that endpoint may be depends on the individual setup. Let it be a Wire guard server, or an reverse proxy, or some VPN server.

    In my setup the entry point is a reverse proxy is in a Docker container with exposed port 443 doing all the proxying and certificates to web applications.
