  • plexargod

    Plex Argo Daemon - A systemd script to update the Plex API to use the current cloudflared tunnel address for remote access

  • Port forwarding can be daunting at first. Have you had a look at Cloudflare tunnels? They let you in without opening any ports. Have a look at https://github.com/danielewood/plexargod. Make sure that you don't use caching otherwise you risk violating their ToS.

  • ngrok

    Expose your localhost to the web. Node wrapper for ngrok. (by bubenshchykov)

  • If all else fails, there are other tunnels out there. I think https://ngrok.com/ is still around.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
