Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I have no experience with OMV specifically, but generally making things accessible from outside your house means exposing it ti the internet.
However, what you can do is to only expose an openvpn port, so that to gain access as if you were at home you could connect via o0envpn first.
Does it mean I have to configure a VPN profile on all of the devices I need remote access from and I'm only able to access my NAS while this VPN profile is active?
No, just one. You set up one device/server as a VPN gateway (often called VPN concentrator), and you will have access to anything the concentrator has access to on your home network.
Either you use your VPN concentrator as your jump box, or you set up routing and firewalls to be able to access them directly.
Oh, now get it! Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will read into it on the weekend
