I’ve been researching different ways to expose Docker containers to the internet. I have three services I want to expose: Jellyfin, Omnivore (Read-it-later app), and Overseerr.
I’ve come across lots of suggestions, like using Nginx with Cloudflared, but some people mention that streaming media goes against Cloudflared tunnel TOS, and instead recommend Tailscale, or Traefik, or setting up a WireGuard VPN, or using Nginx with a WireGuard VPN.
The amount of conflicting advice has left me confused. So, what would be the best approach to securely expose these containers?
If you need also external access, because you are behind a CGNAT or in general have no public IP at all, get a VPS and setup some tunneling.
I don’t like tailscale/cloudflare dependency so I have a different solution.
I have documented it all here: https://wiki.gardiol.org/
