Oh, routing, I remember watching an “off site back up” video where they set up IP tables, or IP forwarding, or some such, so when their parents tried to access jellyfin locally it was routed over tailscale. Maybe I’m misremembering though, I’m not confident enough to start thinking about it seriously, so I logged it as “that’s possible” and moved on.
That way I just have to keep one instance of jellyfin/immich/etc up to date. It’s all a bit beyond my ken currently but it’s the way I’m trying to head. At least until I learn a better way.
Ideally, I give someone a pi all set up. They plug it in go to service.domain.xyz and it routes to me. Or even IP:Port would be fine, I’ll write them down and stick it to their fridge.
My parents and I run each others’ off-site back up (tailscale-syncthing), but their photo and media services are independent from mine. I just back up their important data, and they return the favour, but we can’t access or share anything.
Guides like yours are great for showing what’s possible. I often find myself not knowing what I don’t know so don’t really know where to start learning what I need to learn.
As a counter point, America has fewer gun restrictions and more convicts than Australia. Gun laws and government overreach do not seem connected.
