Win11 Pro on used lenovo thinkcentre

Docker Desktop

FileBrowser running at 7777:80 in Docker Desktop (7777 was chosen by me to preemptively avoid conflicts)

ATT Router with custom service “Filebrowser” global range 443, TCP, Host Port 443

(443 was chosen by me because I want the site to only be accessible if secure)

Custom firewall exception, tcp, local 7777, Host 443

Filebrowser login page accessible from localhost:7777

Filebrowser login page accessible from http://my_custom_duckdns_domain:7777

Not accessible from https:

Not accessible from external device.

Tried to run Win-Acme, failed.

Tried to run Caddy:

               "Error: loading initial config: loading new config: http app module: start: listening on :80: listen tcp :80: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions."

caddy is not a docker image

I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me configure this stuff, it has not been going well. The AI can’t remember what it tells me from one question to the next, so you end up in loop after loop of errors.

I ended up deleting the caddyfile because no configuration supplied by ChatGPT worked.

Can anyone help me get this going?

I’d really like to understand how to safely expose the fileserver, but nothing is working.

I already tried nextcloud, and though it looks pretty, the on-board office suite, which I want so you don’t have to download a file to view it, will not function because Collabora won’t download.

I do not claim to know what I am doing.

I dislike CLI, and Linux frustrates me to no end.

I’m open to any suggestions you all have.

    ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.

    And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.

    I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.

    Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

    Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.
