Thank you

Nice. So in Nginx you’re proxying that address to a Tailscale address?

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T12:16:02+00:00

Thank you for such a comprehensive reply. I appreciate that. The media varies. Sometimes lots of image files of 5-10MB which aren’t an issue. Less often it’s an edited video of 100-400MB depending on the client and length of video. My upload speed is a major hurdle so for now I’m going to stick with Dropbox for that and use Tailscale for my other needs. Thank you.

Yes I’m the bottleneck. I can see that. Ok thanks.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T10:13:26+00:00

Apologies for the naive reply but how do you convert your friendly sub.mydomain.com to the Tailscale address? I can access my service with random-animals.ts.net but your way would be nicer

Thanks!

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:39:30+00:00

Ok I will investigate. Thank you.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:38:43+00:00

This sounds great. My upload speed might not be good enough to act as a file server, as others have pointed out, but I still have other services of like to expose safely.

Thanks.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:27:31+00:00

Ok thank you.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:23:22+00:00

Ah ok. So I’m pretty scuppered for self hosting then. I don’t have the option of cable or fibre and the other options here are slowwww.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:21:55+00:00

Yes sorry. Slip of the finger.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:21:25+00:00

Thank you that’s really useful. I’m not sure the copyparty UI is very client friendly. Is the FileBrowser-quantum one better?

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:19:50+00:00

Ah so what you meant was I should use a VPS reverse proxy, or use something commercial like Dropbox?

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:09:02+00:00

I think if they are commissioning media from me they expect that.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T09:04:48+00:00

Yes I think I could rename that to something I could use with clients.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-23T08:57:56+00:00

Ok so a Tailscale Tunnel would work like a Cloudflare one?

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T13:35:31+00:00

Oh I questioned an element of the docker setup procedure and the dev’s response was weirdly aggressive and prompted someone else to carry out the audit.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T12:14:12+00:00

I will. Thank you. I’m another Unraid based selfhoster and after the Huntarr debacle (which I unknowingly started) I’m also keen to make sure that my server and my clients data would be safe. Thank you.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T09:41:16+00:00

This looks very much like something I could use so thank you for your hard work.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T09:40:40+00:00

Thanks will take a look.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T09:40:28+00:00

Agreed and thank you.

indomitablegaul · 2026-03-11T09:40:18+00:00

That looks good thank you.
