642: Tunneling Home for the Holidays

In this episode of the Linux Unplugged podcast, Chris, Wes, and Brent discuss Chris's solution for remote access to self-hosted services like Jellyfin using ngrok and Home Assistant for toggling the tunnel, addressing the need for secure and temporary access without exposing the server to constant public internet exposure. They also explore alternative solutions like Tailscale funnels and Cloudflare tunnels, and Wes introduces Jelly Swarm, a reverse proxy for combining multiple Jellyfin servers, alongside other Jellyfin-related tools. The hosts then promote the upcoming Great Holiday Homelab special, inviting listeners to submit their home lab setups for a community showdown with various award categories. The episode also includes sponsor messages from Defined Networking, Unraid, and 1Password, listener boosts, and concludes with a pick of the week: SubGen, a tool for auto-generating subtitles for media files.
