OK now we’re talking! Thanks.

Not looking for a workaround but thanks

Also launching a script from cell phone is kind of the same issue

Not quite, I want to restart a VM using a container.

Debain and VirtualBox

That’s what I do now, just looking for something where I don’t have to lookup the command and type it in with my phone

Debian and VirtualBox

you can restart VMs from portainer?

ok great thank you!

CasaOS doesn’t have a way to do that, how can I do that in Portainer?

CasaOS is like a frontend for Docker, it has an “app store” where it’s just a handful of clicks to install something.

Anyway, I did see that guide but the steps for Docker just say “Refer to Seerr Docker Documentation” which is well, kind of complicated.

I do have Portainer and know my way around it’s basics if it makes it easier.

NGINX Proxy Manager and DuckDNS.

Get DuckDNS set up first.

Then go to DuckDNS.org and register a domain.

Then go into NGINX proxy manager.

It’s pretty straightforward, click “add proxy host”, then type the domain from duckdns (I like to do a different subdomain for each service, ie: calibre.mydomain.duckdns.org, homeassistant.mydomain.duckdns.org, etc.) and point it at your container with the service you want to access remotely.

You’ll want to enable let’s encrypt. But other than that the defaults should be fine.

I see, the default docker installer for fail2ban gave me an error because “Port 80 was already in use” (by NGINX Manager).

If any service has only username and password instead of mfa or password less then it’s not safe.

None of them do

You also didn’t mention if you have automated patching or immutable backups enabled.

I do not. I don’t even know what those are tbh

Thanks I’m going to look into fail2ban. I mostly wanted to make sure I wasn’t being a total idiot here.

Thanks I’ll look into these. Quick question: how does fail2ban use port 80 if that’s already used by nginx?
