Hi Guys! Very Very new to the world of self hosting. I recently got an old pc that I have been using for some jellyfin, immich related tasks. I found some old external hard drives in great condition and was wondering if anyone knew a way I could access these external HDDs on other devices outside the network. I mainly want to periodically store files from other devices on this drive, without having to carry it around. Any help is appreciated! Thank you! :)

    You could setup an SFTP or Samba server on it, then expose that via port forwarding. Just make sure you disable anonymous authentication and stuff.
