What us the best way to add remote access to my servers? - Lemmy.World

Hi, I an currently trying to add remote access to 2 of my servers but didn’t manage to get a working setup as is. Right now I want to access 2 servers: * one is for media stuff (navidrome, jellyfin, managing the arr stack) * one is for my data syncing with rsync and after set a backup from borg to another server not on my domain I was trying at some point to add stuff such as tailscale, but somehow I always had issues with having both servers reachable within the IP range I use on my local network, so everything would work as is with the current config at home being away. I have also heard of cloudflare tunnels as well, but that I didn’t try yet. At some point I tried to do just a regular wireguard from my opnsense, but I would prefer not to have open ports to worry about (and also had issues with internal IP not being assigned from wireguard as well). Does anyone here has experience with this? If so, what was your solution and/or caviats to it?

I was going to say Tailscale. You will need to give more details about what didn’t work with Tailscale, but it has been pretty seamless for me.
Basically when I connect to tailscale I just can’t get it to give an internal IP so I can access everything with my configs. Unless I am missing something obvious, I don’t understand what is going on here.
When you connect to Tailscale, via cli it should give you a link to use to connect it to your account. You can get the ip address in various ways. One of which is just looking on your Tailscale dashboard. You need to have Tailscale installed on every machine you want to talk with.
