Total noob, but I set up TrueNAS/Nextcloud on an old laptop and it's working great locally.

What would be the easiest secure way to access my files remotely from my phone and/or laptop?

Hey, I'm testing it and I have it installed on my phone/PC/TrueNAS but having trouble getting access remotely (testing on data).

I think I have the part "Advertise Routes" wrong, how to I know what IP to put in exactly

You put the ip address that tailscale gives you along with the port number of your NextCloud instance.

Is the port number the 4 numbers after the : which I use as a url to access Nextclouds web gui?

Also that means I should be adding two routes?

[–] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes the port number is the last 4 digits after the :.

Sorry for the questions, how do I know which Tailnet IP to use? Each device seems to get a different address and a I tested a couple and neither worked

A tutorial I watched used 192.168.3.0/24. I tested this and it didn't give me any errors and it connected to tailscale, but I couldn't actually access things remotely
