How to remotely access a Raspberry Pi? (sh.itjust.works)

So I have a Synology server that I have a good deal of experience with, so this post will be through that lens.

What I'd like to do is set up a Raspberry Pi exclusively for pirating. So Qbittorrent and Proton VPN to get started, later Radarr, Lidarr, etc. I don't think I'll have a problem getting the Pi up and running, but I'd like to run it like my server, tucked away somewhere without a monitor or peripherals.

How do I access it? For my Synology box, I just put in a browser the local ip port 5000 and I have a whole desktop right there. But when I google about how I'd access a Pi, everything points to using SSH. I know a lot of people have Pis set up like this and surely they can't be administering the whole thing through CLI, right? How do I get a similar setup to my Synology such that I can just get a desktop interface in a browser?

  • Tailscale for remote access
  • Portainer for GUI docker management
  • NGINX Proxy Manager running behind tailscale for accessing your services easier (can go into greater detail on this)
  • SSH for anything else

IMO, trying to avoid CLI in server administration is doing yourself a long term disservice. Its not that challenging and you'll learn a lot more about how everything works. Plus, you're pretty much not going to be able to avoid the terminal forever.

I would love a layman's guide to NGINX. every guide I come across is filled with unexplained jargon

Not sure if you getting mentioned in the post gives you a notification, but just wanted to drop the link here! Hope it helps, I tried to make the walkthrough pretty basic while still keeping it high level where it matters (like I assume anyone attempting this is familiar enough with selfhosting that they can install a docker container without me walking through the entire process)

appreciate it thanks, I'll take a look

yes, I can run docker.
