Hi, I’ve recently built myself my first server to host a minecraft server. I manage this server through cockpit, which isn’t port forwarded.
Now I’m going to move to a different place, but I want to keep that server at this house because of more stable internet and me moving to a smaller space, but I don’t know how I could access this server remotely.
I’ve already tried adding a vpn to my router, but when connected, I still can’t access my cockpit dashboard. Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to port forward to access my cockpit instance remotely?
The folks replying here have pretty much hit the nail on the head. Adding your home network to that AllowedIPs line in the confit file should do the trick.
Someone else mentioned Tailscale, which would be another great option—with a web UI to dial in routes.
