when reading through the jellyfin with chromecast guide i realized that it would probably be less effort to just let the casting api be public, with the added bonus that i could then cast my library to any device that supports it. but that seems like it would paint a giant target on the server.
what’s the recommended way of doing stuff like this? ideally i want to be able to go to someone’s house and just play some of my media on their tv.
not that any of this is doable in the near future, since i’m behind cgnat and won’t get my colocated bounce server up until spring.
i’ll worry about the nat traversal when i get my bouncer back up, but it will probably be less full-featured than pangolin. previously i just used a reverse ssh setup but that was a bit too rudimentary.
Yea I haven’t tried Pangolin myself - looks a bit bloated for my tastes, but I have tried rinetd across Tailscale and it worked brilliantly (very simple conf file), and I’ve done reverse ssh before (using autossh) which was a bit fiddly. frp does look promising though, just as a VPS<->home bridge.
