Is it possible to have the custom domain pointed at MY custom domain?

[jdroberto]

I've got Channels setup on a Linux machine and due to networking and port struggles, I'm running caddy as a reverse proxy. Right now I can access my server locally and remotely at:

https://channels.mypersonaldomain.com

Caddy handles the routing from that subdomain to port 8089. However, because I can't get 8089 properly open and forwarded, this means the Channels Apps won't be able to connect. Is it possible to have my channels domain (ie 45g542v23c02.u.channelsdvr.net:8089) point to my personal subdomain?

Why so complicated, just use the integrated Tailscale feature.

Lots of complicated reasons. I'd like to be able to run my server behind a reverse proxy, etc. Wondering if I might get an answer from the devs. I'd like to be able to enter my URL into the apps when I am on the road and still watch my Channels DVR. Is this possible?

Solely using your own domain for remote access is not possible.

is it not possible to setup a CNAME record for http://45g542v23c02.u.channelsdvr.net:8089 ?

No, it’s not possible. Tailscale is going to be your best option if you can’t use our existing port forwarding based integration.

The problem that I run into with tailscale is it is not “always on” on Chromcast with GTV devices. Turning it on all the time is annoying.
