Youre welcome. I assume there should be a way to stop nginx logs getting generated, or at least make a script to automatically delete them
I may have misunderstood how you had your ports open, do you have them open locally and accessed through your wireguard private network? if so, and you dont mind having others connect to your wireguard server, then youre good to go.
Nginx explained:
let me clarify what nginx and nginx proxy manager are, nginx is the proxy service, nginx proxy manager is nginx with a web dashboard for configuration
as I understand proxy services, they open ports 80 and 443 i think, which are for http and https respectively
from that you can redirect traffic to any local service nginx has access to
you need to host nginx proxy manager on a server and forward http/s and certificate ports (or maybe just http/s) to the server, the server needs local access to jellyfin
you also need a domain to easily get https encryption with letsencrypt, i recommend duckdns
open port:
client > ip:port > your open router > your vpn router > jellyfin
direct access, no filters, no encryption (unless you make your own certs which you need to trust on each client or have all connections from client to server go through wireguard)
nginx/nginx proxy manager:
(subdomain is how nginx knows where or which local ip:port to send incoming traffic)
client > https://subdomain.domain.duckdns.org/ > public network nginx > local network jellyfin
no direct access, nginx filters, encryption
so only a few open ports, lead to as many local services as you want
an evil? barely
what youre talking about is a risk, it doesnt mean that valve is inherently bad or evil in any way.
does it run by the same capitalist rules? yes, its a private company, not your lord and savior.
if you wanted to spread awareness about the risk of people losing their steam games, you can do that without having to vilify them just because theres not more companies like them.
