Hi guys,

Pretty new here, so might not be the best place to post this.

I'm looking for a docker img, or an internal way of accessing a specific share, all over the world, without the hassle of VPN setup. It's not really for me, but my wife is not a tech savvy, and if I need to explain to her how she has to use the VPN it will never work.

I don't want anything fancy, just a remote access to a share, that I can mount directly in her Mac, in Finder.

I have multiple app accessible through Swag reverse Proxy, and a Wireguard VPN already working, but I know for fact that the VPN part will make her loose her head.

 

Thanks for anyone stopping by, and again, sorry if it's not the right place to post.

 

EDIT: I have Nextcloud setup too, but the WebDav part is really slow (announcing 8 days for 40gb of transfert, while uploading it to my Filebrowser instance only took 2h) so it's a NO-GO.

You're not going to want to hear this but... VPN.

But but but...  Make it easy and seamless.  Netbird. Go free, use their management service (coordinator), just use an agent on every machine that will be part of that VPN mesh. It should be very transparent for your wife's device where she doesn't have to remember to do any configuration when using it - or not using it.

 

Setting this up for my wife and kids right now for similar reason, also to access file share and photos.
