  • Ahhh i gotcha, so basically it forwards traffic through the pi so that you can send traffic through tailscale on devices that don’t support it? Sounds like a cool idea tbh

    Good on ya for the tailscale/syncthing though, off-site backups are super important! If Jellyfin supported federation you could merge your library and your parents library and have it all accessible through each of your local instances. Maybe one day they’ll add it, i think it would be a killer feature.

    Glad the write-up helped though, it should at least help you move towards single instances (at least for immich) since you can just backup on tailscale via the dns entry!


  • Glad to help, yes that is a perfect example of how you could use this to your benefit. Much easier to just tell people to enable VPN (tailscale) and navigate to an easy to remember URL.

    I’m somewhere in the middle, I do cybersecurity professionally so i work a lot with technical stuff but my hobbies are much deeper in it so theres a lot of stuff i don’t know. But, thanks to these communities i was able to learn how to do a lot of things and have now levelled up into doing the research on my own and trying to give back :)

    In your dream scenario, is that each family member would be hosting immich/jellyfin on their pi zero? Or is the pi zero somehow routing traffic for them back to your server for jellyfin and immich?



  • Just looked it up, seems to pretty cool. Does it only work with one service though? You proxy one port to your tailscale domain name, but does it do routing for additional ports at the same time?

    I’ve only done surface level research into it, and honestly didn’t come across this when i was doing the research for NGINX Proxy Manager, but it seems a little limited in comparison.

    Happy to be proven wrong though, any easy solution is a good solution :)








  • 🫡 just doing my part, when i set it up it was a lot of digging through documentation and videos (the information is there, but it definitely requires some commitment in the research lol). Wanted to make something that gives it all in one go & helps the community out :)

    Honestly, this is probably the enhancement to my homelab which has yielded the greatest QoL improvement. Prior to this, I would have to remember port numbers for every service and every ip address that i have something running on (and as my lab has expanded, this has become a lot more challenging).
