Remote access

What's the simplest way to give remote access to family? In the YAMS origin story and inspiration for yams this seemed to be part of the original purpose.
But I can't find any documentation on how to allow external remote user to request a TV show for example?

Hey @alanski!

YAMS is only the installer, but they are a multitude of ways of configuring remote access to your service. You can:

  • Open a port in your router and use a dynamic DNS provider
  • Use a selfhosted VPN like OpenVPN or Wireguard
  • Use a commecial VPN like TailScale
  • Use Cloudflare Tunnels

YAMS doesn't suggest one on purpose, since you have to use what is best for your configuration. For example, I use a combination between Cloudflare Tunnels and a Wireguard VPN.

Cheers!
