Requirements for media server:

 

-Emby Server within docker

 

-File sharing/NAS

 

-RDP or VPN access

 

-Secure 

 

I'm a newbie linux user. My main box is a win 10 anniversary update, so I have bash.

 

What do I need on my freshly installed headless Ubuntu server?

 

1. NFS or Samba?

 

2. xRDP or SSHFS or VNC? Not sure which ones I need or if I need all of them. Recommendations?

 

3. SSH keys? fail2ban? 

 

4. Emby server

 

5. Docker

 

6. Bash on windows 10 (SSH)

 

What else?

 

I hear a lot of buzz words but not sure which ones I should be grabbing or exactly why to be honest.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the response. Yeah I took a glance at the instructions. Seems fine for just setting up emby server, but I was hoping I can get more hand holding regarding what software do I need for turning my stock Ubuntu server into a secure file sharing server that I can hit from bash windows 10. Unless I'm overlooking what exactly is included in the docker container. 

 

Thanks!

It's a nice detailed write up and a good starting point. My approach is a slight variation with docker.
