So I downloaded LunaSea, I added in the host details such as my device IP, along with port sonarr uses, and then API key, that was the easy part I tested and could download a movie off my phone and saw it go to my deluge torrent, however when I try access LunaSea off WIFI, so on mobile data instead it won’t load, I’m obviously missing a step, I’m assuming TailScale? Is that easy too, do I just download that on my laptop. Sorry for dumb questions
Do you use plex to watch your media?
It’s a little late to suggest it since you’ve already setup tailscale, but if you use plex you can have sonarr monitor your plex watch list.
Sonarr → import lists → Plex watch list
Then it’s just open plex app, add a show or movie (radarr) to watch list, and that’s it.
I prefer that to needing to manage more apps, but there’s nothing wrong with how you have done it. Plus it’s great experience/education!
NZB360 is great, but you still need to be on your local network to use it without setting up something like others are suggesting.
Seriously, this is the EASY solution by far.
Add overseer as an external module. That’s what I did with both overseer and transmission
Yh it works perfect, I typed in the IP tailscale provided for my laptop then the port for sonarr and I could access it, but decided to use LunaSea has a nice layout to it. All works perfect both on WIFI, and when I’m away from home. Thank u
Is it the one that cost money For overseer? says it’s 2.99 on Apple store
I’m using tailscale although I run into an issue when trying to watch plex, seems nothing plays as if I’m not connected, my laptop which. Has plex server on it is using tailscale, is there anything I need to do in plex settings to make it work along with tailscale as I’m assuming changes my IP so that’s why plex on my tv won’t play? Or do I have to connect my tv to tailscale to use plex and do the same with my families devices ? When I’m connected outside my network plex plays fine on my devices even without tailscale downloaded, only thing that doesn’t work is home internet, so I’m assuming I do need tailscale on my devices at home to direct play?
I use nzb360, but yeah
Dude. LunarSea is the thing in the pass. Try Rudarr
Tailscale is super easy to set up
I haven’t used Cloudflare tunnels, so I’m not qualified to compare and contrast the two.
Not if you are not tech savvy as op said. Much simpler to just install an agent on both clients and boom, done.
isn’t it a bit of a struggle to make a mesh vpn by yourself, especially when you have a a lot of devices? tailscale is really easy, you install, login, and you’re good to go
Port forwarding or cgnat can mess that up, Tailscale you dont have to eff with any of that
That’s what I thought until I learned my work blocks ports and unknown addresses. I just use Tailscale now
Check these out and familiarize yourself with how it works, setup, etc. Essentially, you will make a Tailscale account, install it to your Plex system as well as whatever mobile device you have, login on each->connect to the Tailnet, and you’ll have access as if you were local. Should not need to do anything with your modem.
It’s really not very hard to do…
You install the app on all the things you want to be able to talk to each other (laptops, servers, phones)… And connect them though the same account. Then you assign names to the servers if you want to in order to make it easy.
If you’re using container manager on synology (formerly docker), use dr Frankenstein’s guides
Recently migrated every software from my PC to my NAS and his guides helped me do it all in a day it was so easy
Nah I just use the browser when I need it. I’m actually running LXC containers for all my home media stuff with Heimdall as a homepage. So I just click/tap the Syncthing icon, website loads and I can manage it as needed. So far haven’t had any issues with the setup.
It’s miles away from the “least easy solution”, but I can’t comment on how it compares to the others, just mentioning what works for me.
It’s really not that hard tbh, the git page makes it look daunting but it’s pretty much a case of clicking down through the buttons and typing in a name for your client.
- it’s free and open source, so no paywalls based on number of clients or whatever, and you don’t have to worry about losing your remote access when the providers decide it’s no longer profitable to offer free tiers
Many ways to get it done, just depends how OP wants to do it.
