Hello, so I am a complete novice at this and hope I can get some help. I recently found an app called Goonscroll, which allows for curated feeds, and you can set a Stash feed into the app as well. I’d like to access my files locally into this app, and to do that I need an HTTPS instance URL. I’ve never hosted a server or anything of the sort, so I’m really out of my depth here. Can anyone help with how to set up remote access to Stash via an https url? I saw this other post Stash VPN proxy setup but I have no idea how to run docker files. Ideally I’d like to use Tailscale, since I was able to get that running on my PC (host that has the content) and phone, but I’ll use whatever is needed to get it running. Thank you for any advice!
First of all what does the app do that you cannot do by just accessing your stash remotely?
You have already set up tailscale, so you can access your stash from anywhere with an internet connection.
The issue with the app is that you either have to expose your machine to the internet i.e. anyone can start attacking it or you have to give the app access to your VPN, if that is even possible.
Neither of those are good ideas unless you know what you are doing. Giving concrete suggestions is pretty difficult without knowing more about your setup and what you are trying to achieve.
You can use Cloudflare Tunnels, It has some limitation in terms speed of course, but its not that bad, if you disable caching.
If you want to just expose your Stash directly, youd have a ngninx of some sort of reverse proxy deployed first, which handles https and then expose that port on your router. i assume this is your home pc / network if oyu are asking this question.
I’d be slightly wary of giving my apikey to random sites though.
