How I Safely Expose Copyparty to the Internet (Unraid + Nginx Proxy Manager)

👍 👍 👍 WATCH THIS NEXT https://youtu.be/bVfnq8kty90👍 👍 👍 If you followed the first video, you now have Copyparty running on Unraid for fast, simple file sharing on your local network. In this video, I’ll show you how I safely expose Copyparty to the internet using Nginx Proxy Manager — without directly port forwarding the container or leaving your server wide open. We’ll cover: • Creating a reverse proxy in Nginx Proxy Manager • Adding SSL with Let’s Encrypt • Using Access Lists for an extra layer of protection • Basic hardening tips like upload size limits and safe DNS setup This setup keeps Copyparty internal while Nginx Proxy Manager handles HTTPS and external access — a much safer and more flexible approach. Whether you’re using Cloudflare, Namecheap, or another DNS provider, the process is the same. The goal is simple: secure remote access without unnecessary risk. If you want remote file access on Unraid without turning your homelab into a security liability, this is the right way to do it. 🔗 Links & Resources • Copyparty PART 1 Install on Unraid: https://youtu.be/bVfnq8kty90 • Nginx Proxy Manager: https://youtu.be/nhacNUxVcy4 • Discord: https://discord.gg/kst8fMPx4t • Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlienTech42 💬 Join the Discord for Unraid help and homelab discussion ❤️ If you’d like to support the channel and get bonus resources and configs, consider joining the Patreon Support the Channel 🔥 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlienTech42 🔥 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/alientech42 🔥 Shop on Amazon (no extra cost): https://amzn.to/3vedMqV If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more Unraid tutorials!
