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?
I’ll just use Tailscale until they fuck it up, which I’m sure they will, eventually. It’s not very hard to rebuild using something else for the 40 or 50 nodes I’m likely to have. I’ve done it before and I’m sure I’ll do it again.
