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?
Slap a good reverse proxy in front of it (nginx I what I use) and set it up with HTTPS using let’s Encrypt. For added layer of security setup also some SSO like Authelia.
Or just go the VPN way but then, that will not be access from internet, only via VPN, only you will be accessing it.
