How do you play/stream media from your server during offline hours? (slrpnk.net)

Hi there!

Wondering what types of setup people have that allow them to, while the internet is down, still watch/stream media from their servers. I have a stacked Jellyfin library that, and would like to see this feature/setup in my own house. My Unraid server is on the other side of the house from where the living room is. Is there actually a sane way to achieve this?

Which is really weird IMO.

If you want to run everything over a VPN, you're going to have issues when the internet goes out. Use VPN as a fallback or to get around CGNAT, not as a primary way of routing everything.

Here's my setup:

VPS runs WireGuard VPN and HAProxy forwards services through VPN to the relevant internal device
router runs DNS server and routes my domains to local addresses
TLS is handled on the device that serves the content for whatever service it is

So when I connect on my LAN, my router just points the domain to the machine running Jellyfin and I get all the goodness of TLS. When I connect outside my LAN, my VPS tunnels TLS through the WireGuard VPN to get around CGNAT and I get all the goodness of TLS. So it doesn't matter where I connect, I use the same URL and get TLS.
