I'm aware that the unRAID web GUI isn't intended to be accessed from the WWW, however I was looking to have access to certain Dockers; Plex, Sickrage, Couch Potato, etc. from outside of my network for when I'm away from home.  If i'm staying away and want to download a show / movie, I want to be able to access Sickrage / CP to download and log in to my Plex to play the media.

 

I'm currently running unRAID 6.2.4 on a HP N54L Microserver.  My N54L is behind my cable modem, which I've forwarded certain ports to the dockers I want access to. (Currently disabled)

 

My question is;

A) How safe is this?  Port 80 points to Nginx web server (docker) so there's no access to unRAIDs web GUI on that port.

B) Can I use SSL encryption to make it more secure?  If so, how?

 

Thanks

is there a docker to run a VPN service? My cable modem router doesn't support hosting a vpn.

You would still need to open ports on your modem router to access the VPN, so not sure what you mean by "not supported" If you mean that your router doesn't have VPN capability then yes you can use a docker as long as you can open the relevant ports.

 

The other thing would be an Nginx reverse proxy with our letsencrypt container,  but again you will still need to open ports.

Sorry, I can open ports fine.  I mean my router doesn't have the ability to act as a VPN itself, like my old DD-WRT router could.
