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 would advise you to remove the rule on your router and expose your services with cloudflared instead. It should get you started with securely hosting your websites. Then you can build up on this self-hosting knowledge and later decide if you want to manage this yourself.
When you tried caddy and received an error, that looks like you are getting the wrong image name.
Then you mentioned deleting caddyfile as the configuration didn’t work. But, if I am following correctly the caddyfile wouldn’t yet be relevant if the caddy container hadn’t actually ran.
Pulling from Caddys docs, you should just need to run
I have not tried caddy through docker yet, just running it through a windows command line with admin priv. I’m looking into doing it with Docker, just haven’t started yet.
I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?
If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.
I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.
All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.

I will remember how familiar you are with docker!

Good luck either way.
Use Tailscale with the Funnel option.
It provides a fully encrypted connection for external devices that don’t have the Tailscale client. Pretty impressive.
Similar to using Cloudflare tunnels but easier to setup.
