Hey all, been wanting to get into self hosting for a while. I won’t be doing a whole lot - probably just a Plex server and photo/video archives.
Maybe a personal assistant if I get really bored, lol.
At work, I’ve got a selected of taking either:
- HP Prodesk 400 G4 - i5 7th Gen
OR
- Dell Optiplex 7020
- Dell Optiplex 3010
- Dell Optiplex 3040 All Intel i5
Let me know if they’re all shit too, lol.
Many thanks
On the same network yes. If you want to do it from elsewhere, you should use a VPN, don’t expose stuff like Jellyfin to the Internet.
How would I connect to the same network from so far away? Is that impossible?
If I want to connect from far away, would a simple NordVPN do the trick?
Run a VPN server on your system and expose that. Then connect to it with the VPN client on the remote system.
I see!!! Thanks, great tip.
