Hello! I finally got to installing casaOs on my debian laptop which I would use as a server. Already installed some apps and got jellyfin to work.

I just can't find the best way to access my server and apps remotely. I tried using tailscale and I can access my casaos dashboard and the apps work thru the dashboard, but not on the installed apps on my phone. Is there a guide I can follow? Or is there another option to connect remotely?

Use a VPN like Wireguard. I'd suggest putting the laptop into a DMZ, if you have a good router. If you don't...buy a 30/40€ Fujitsu Futuro S720/920 and use It as an OPNsense router (video tutorial)

Tailscale is Wireguard (or I should say it uses Wireguard, just provides automation around client config).

Well, it's a Wireguard client that connects to somebody else's server! I prefer not to let that "somebody else" enter my network. Since it's pretty easy, I run my own Wireguard server!
