October 21, 2025Oct 21 How exactly can I make my server contactable remotely? I'm a fairly non-techi guy and have been using unraid for a while now in a "noob-ish" way, and would like to level up the server with the addition of some more media server things, namely AirSonic for music and AudioBookshelf for audiobooks, also I want to start migrating my movies to jellyfin and detach myself from plex. The thing is I have no idea how to do this. These apps, unlike plex, need to have the sever discoverable and reachable somehow. I know I need a DNS name or something, but I am paranoid about setting something up and it being extremely unsafe. There are guides around the place, like spaceInvaders uTube chan, but the videos that talk about this are super old.Q: How would one go about this in the modern Unraid way? VPN tunnels (whatever that is), registered dns name? ... what and how do I make the server discovrable from outside so I can use apps like AudioBookshelf to server media or nextcloud or whatever?Q: How can I make is "relatively" safe?Q: Dose anyone know any good, uptodate, youtube tutorials I can look at?thanks!

I would need it to have a domain name so I can use it on the apps you find on your TV and Phones and stuff, and my understanding is they need urls to connect to ?
