Accessing music remotely

[captainkev]

Hi All,

I'm a long-term MinimServer user, but up until now I've always made sure that my music collection is sync'd to a 1TB memory card on my phone so that when I'm out and about I can have access to my full library.

With memory card slots now becoming a rarity on newer phones, I'm now thinking about how I could go about making my music collection streamable from the server regardless of where I am.

I had been looking at Navidrome, but I'm actually wondering if MinimServer could fulfil this requirement.

Is anyone using Minimserver for remote access? I'd be wanting to expose the service via my free Cloudflare ZTNA tunnel rather than require a VPN or port forwarding.

From a quick look at this, it seems unlikely that the cloudflared service on the device running MinimServer would support UPnP discovery of MinimServer from external network devices.

Some people use BubbleUPnP Server (not the BubbleUPnP Android control point) to access their UPnP library server remotely. I haven't tried this myself.

I'm a very new user to MinimServer as I'm trying it out.
I had a similar issue to you. My solution was the following
I VPN into my router and this gives me a local IP address and full access to my network. I can then use a UPNP server accessed via something like USB Audio Player Pro to connect to the server and play music on my phone.

I've got MinimServer licensed and installed on my NAS (Synology), having the same thought: is there a way to make my library visible on the 'net when out of home, straight off my mobile phone with the likes of FlacBox for instance (it allows me access to MinimServer when on the same LAN through DLNA)?

Any hints would be most appreciated, thank you in advance!
