I’ve been researching different ways to expose Docker containers to the internet. I have three services I want to expose: Jellyfin, Omnivore (Read-it-later app), and Overseerr.

I’ve come across lots of suggestions, like using Nginx with Cloudflared, but some people mention that streaming media goes against Cloudflared tunnel TOS, and instead recommend Tailscale, or Traefik, or setting up a WireGuard VPN, or using Nginx with a WireGuard VPN.

The amount of conflicting advice has left me confused. So, what would be the best approach to securely expose these containers?

    Tailscale is very easy and handles everything for you but you are relying on their services, so if you want to be 100% self hosted Wireguard is the way to go.
