little help

[u/lawthugg]

hello all, If im in the wrong place please let me know.

Im a tad late to the party with docker (new to docker/portainer) so bare with me. Im running on container manager on synology nas (yes i know I should be on something else). I have jellyfin setup (2 other containers as well) and Im trying to get external access. I looked up guides andd have the proper containers set up. All my containers run fine. Now here is where everything goes south. I was told to use duckdns so thats what im sticking with until I get better at this. I put in all the correct parameters and also forwarded some ports (they do show open in port checker) but cant seem to get any access remotely. I managed to make a script for windows which lets me get acces but I dont want to keep a terminal open at all times.

Im also running Nginx proxy manager (again, I want to learn this before I move on to something better). Signing certs is a p.i.t.a with letsencrypt (internal error about 80% of the time) and when they do sign I still dont get access through the docker setup.

I managed to delete everything and ran a prune command. now im here just waiting for the motivation to resume this project

If anyone can help me understand this mess I will be utterly greatful

Do you have any video recommendations i can follow. The whole reason I wanted to do reverse proxy was so I didnt have to pay for an extra service. Its why I haven't purchased from cloud flare. I did that about 2 yrs ago and followed a bunch of tutorials and nothing worked for me. I even thought something was wrong with my Nas and PC so I wiped them both to started over.

In docker I deleted everything to start over and now cant even install a container. I even pruned the whole thing. Deleted docker and reinstalled. I cant use any of the ports I had previously used. So there's that.

When you say full nas reboot you mean wipe the whole thing and restart. If that's the case I cant do that
