  • Need some help with remote access please.

  • Sorry, I didn't get a notification for your reply until this morning.

    Thanks for the offer, I'd be happy for any notes or advice :)

    I managed to get Navidrome and Immich set up last night through subdomains, like music.domain.com and photos.domain.com, using the existing Cloudflare tunnel. They seem to be working properly, but I'm going to check them when I'm out later to make sure that nothing was cached rather than being served live.

    One thing I want to look at in the future is local domain names, so music.local etc. and possibly set up certificates to get rid of any warnings about insecure sites. I might switch from AdGuard to PiHole to help with that.

    Something that might make you laugh, I got stuck for an hour or so last night trying to connect to Navidrome through the domain name. I could get to the login page, but couldn't get it to accept my credentials. Substreamer wouldn't log in either. I looked through pages and pages of search results, forum posts, and manuals, but couldn't find an answer. Just before I gave up, I copied the address from Firefox to try in another browser, and realised that I'd forgotten the s in https 😫

  • Please don't apologise, you and the other commenters have been a massive help :)

    It's sod's law though, I was supposed to have two pretty much free days yesterday and today, and they've turned out to be two of the busiest days I've had for a long time. Networking is one of my blind spots, I can never quite get my head around it, so gave myself two days to try to get up to speed and seem to have jinxed myself :D

    I'm going to spend an hour or two now playing around with Cloudflare and Navidrome and see if I can get a better grip on it all.

    Thanks again for the help :)

  • That's great thanks :)

    The fact that it can be always on is really helpful, there's less chance of her forgetting to use it then.

    Tailscale only responds to the range of connections that it's in charge of, so it doesn't interfere with connecting to normal internet, etc.

    This is the other thing that I was concerned about, that everything else would be diverted. Someone else said that it can selectively route apps, and that's put my mind at ease. I don't know why, but anything to do with networking gets me mixed up >.<

    Thanks for your help, I'm going to have a play with some settings :D

  • Ah, that's cool. I'll give it a try once I've had some sleep, it's been a long day. Thanks for the help :)

  • I'm a bit dubious about running Tailscale on the family's devices, as they're not particularly techy, and will forget to launch it if it isn't running for whatever reason, and then I get the blame.

    Wouldn't all traffic go through it when it's running too, or can you select which apps now? They'd mostly be using Android devices.

  • I thought that Sunshine and Moonlight were for screen sharing? I've only ever seen them used for gaming.

  • I'm still a bit confused with all of this so I might be getting things completely wrong. I thought that I needed to get certificates for anything that I wanted to make public with an URL, and that's where I thought Caddy came in, but a few of the other replies have said that I can use the Cloudflare tunnel and let them sort out the encryption. That seems like it should be easier for me, as I've dealt with it already.

    IPv6 isn't available through my ISP as far as I can tell, they only enable it locally through their router at the moment.

  • I just replied to your other comment before I saw this one, but I'll post the reply here too for anyone who's following the thread :)

    The main thing I'm still not sure of is Tailscale. I don't know if I can just put my services behind an URL for my wife to add to her devices, as she's unlikely to remember to run Tailscale before she listens to her music, for example.

    Sorry, I've just replied to another comment before I saw yours. I didn't realise that Cloudflare could deal with encryption on its own, I thought you needed something like Caddy to get certificates. I found out after seeing the other comment that one of my services running through the Cloudflare tunnel is encrypted, but I couldn't get it to work in the past. I'm not sure what's changed, but I'm going to give it a proper look once I've had some sleep.

    There's something about the networking side of things that just throws me, and I struggle to get my head around it. If I can get things running through Cloudflare, I'll be very happy :)

  • Sorry about the slow reply.

    This is where I get confused with Tailscale. Doesn't everything then go through Tailscale, like when you run a VPN? Ideally I just want to be able to connect with a link and save that in the remote app / program, and also avoid having my wife forget to start Tailscale and shout at me >.<

  • Sorry about the slow reply. Don't I need to be running Tailscale on the remote device then though? Ideally I want to be able to put a link into whichever app / program and be able to share that link with my wife and kid

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Yeah, they sound like good things to get :)

    I'd do something quite similar, under the same assumptions, but would split the money four ways with my wife, kid, and house stuff. We'd all get decent laptops and computers and upgrade the server and backups. I need a new phone, so that would be sorted.

    Selfishly, I'd get a new to me motorbike and get the current one serviced properly. Neither would cost too much, but they're things that are not currently important enough to spend on.

    I'd pay a cleaning company for a few days of cleaning and sorting, as we all have either ADHD or something close, and haven't been able to get our shit together for long enough to make a difference 🫣

    I'd like to get the garage insulated, as it's part of the house and can be cold, and get the garden tidied enough that we can keep it under control.

    I've probably overspent, but if not, I'd take the family and some close friends out for a nice meal. We haven't all been together for a while, and there's a really nice but reasonably priced restaurant nearby 🙂

  • This could work really well for me too. My favourite sci fi series, Spinward Fringe, has a character who loves 'ancient' media, and who is one of the heroes of the story, so has access to all sorts of technology. As it's set around a thousand years in the future, he should like at least some of the media I already own.

    I've got an older laptop that I can take with me to give him a way to make our technologies compatible, then, for a few hundred pounds, I can buy some massive hard drives and fill them with whatever media he wants, assuming that he hasn't given me a super powerful computing device yet. After a few decent trades, I should hopefully either be able to build highly advanced tech, or have enough information to trade on this side and pay to get things built.

    I wonder if I could use a loophole too. They have sentient AIs that develop after they're turned on for the first time. If I'm remembering it correctly, they're not sentient beforehand. I could have one built with the knowledge of how to build their technology from scratch, and only turn it on once I'm back here.

    Their medical technology is also super advanced, so bringing some of that back would be amazing. That would have its own set of questions though, like do you reveal it to the world and try to help as many people as possible straight away, possibly risking your safety, or do you keep it quiet until you can keep control of it and stop it from being taken by people who would hoard it. That's a separate post though.

  • Did you try more than once, or with a different prompt? Just to rule out an actual connection issue. I'm curious if the warning you got is just a warning.
