Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

No you port knock first to open the ports. Then connect the client.
usually port knocking opens the relevant port to the client IP that is knocking. So it makes a lot of sense to have the knocking done by the requesting client. In many situations knocking from your mobile while behind the same NAT as your jellyfin client will do the trick, but if you have different IPv6 on those devices etc, it won't.
Also: if you assume your DNS lookups are sniffed - so are your port knocks. If you don't, spare the extra work. But then, if you like port knocking - keep knocking, nothing wrong about it :D
Could always get super complicated and rotate your port knocking so no replay attacks. But now we're just getting silly :)
