I use Jump for guests, Homepage for me, and Organizr for both.

I would just get set up on MxRoute and use whatever selfhosted service you want to interact with it.

For movies, try letterboxd.

My opnSense box does the same thing. I’d rather get to it via internal IP like pfSense worked. (I assume I can make that happen somehow, but I haven’t researched it yet.)

Do you see that only when you’re on the LAN or also when you’re coming in from WAN?

Get a new phone for use while traveling, then dump it when you’re back home. Leave your services behind.

No docker? :(

Sorry, you may be right; I was just thinking of licensing in general.

There are licenses that allow for free non-commercial/personal use but paid business use.

Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.

You don’t need a special client, just a browser. Otherwise, yep!

If you’re carrying your media with you, you could run Jellyfin on the server to provide access to the media to anyone connected to its wifi.

How do you find that?

Damn, where’d you find that deal?

Yeah, but you can’t expect every person using a computer to be a computer expert. In fact, you should expect most of us not to be.
