Hey Friends,
So I am one for privacy and security and have a setup where I access IPTV via a VPN. Here is the setup:
- Zimaboard with 4 TB storage / CasaOS
- Portainer with the following setup.
- YAML with Gluetun VPN and ChannelsDVR
- ChannelsDVR works through the GluetunVPN
- NOTE: I also have a tailscale network and the device above it attached to it
In the home environment calling the IP:PORT works WONDERFULLY!
The challenge of course is coming with trying to do remote streaming. Obviously since the Channels is talking out via the VPN I'm not able to connect with the "away from home option".
For other purposes, I have a remote VPS with Nginix proxy manager that will do tailscale forwarding for my non tech families (for instance I have plex on another server and have it set where if someone enters the server channels.domain.com - it will forward to the server without port forwarding, even in CGNAT situation). Bottom line using the domain channels.domain.com connects to the server through my tailscale.
THE BIG QUESTION:
HOW do I set up my IOS device to connect to my ChannelsDVR in this particular setup (behind a VPN via a Gluetun container?). It would be GREAT if (like plex) we could enter a custom domain to access the server (aka channels.domain.com).
Am I missing something? Is there a way to get my IOS device to connect to my ChannelsDVR that resides in this portainer / gluetun / configuration? I'm at a loss!
