Hello,

recently I recycled my old laptop and started out with OpenMediaVault. After some initial difficulties I figured out how things work. Just to mention: I’m not an IT guy but can solve and figure out things. I want to have access to one or another self hosted services. But I’m a bit lost which approach and tools to use without exposing and making my NAS vulnerable on the internet.

Do you know any beginner friendly guides especially for OMV? I also want to understand what happens if and what my next action causes/can cause. So I don’t just want to dumb follow a tutorial and that’s it.

Thank you for your help and please let me know if you need any more details.

    But I’m a bit lost which approach and tools to use without exposing and making my NAS vulnerable on the internet.

    You’re looking for a reverse proxy;

    *.domian.dev {
        encode zstd gzip
        @jelly host jelly.domian.dev
        handle @jelly {
                reverse_proxy {selfhost_ip}:{port}
        }
        @ping host ping.domian.dev
        handle @ping {
                respond "pong!"
        }
}

    Running caddy like this directly connects your jelly.domain.dev domain to your selfhost ip on a specific port. From within your selfhost you ensure that you’re only allowing in the IP of the VPS, so no one can else can directly connect.

    Works great. I use this myself. I have a local NAS (with media) and run a jellyfin server from my PC (to use my GPU for transcoding). The jellyfin server only allows 1 remote IP (my VPS), and local connections. The local jellyfin server can be accessed via my domain at jelly.domain.dev.
