Put your external facing services behind the VPN, or at least put them in a separate VLAN that's firewalled in such a way that they can't reach the rest of the network if they become compromised.

Setup automatic security updates with unattended-upgrades. I don't know alot about your security expect for the fact that outdated applications are more vulnerable.

Fail2ban is useful to set up.

Seems like your edge server is acting as a proxy for a media server on some other host on your LAN.

You want to make sure that the media server software is setup securely, patched, and properly isolated from anything else in LAN should that become compromised. Proxy closes off a lot of attack vectors but not application vulnerabilities. The Lastpass hack happened because of some vulnerability in an employees home plex server.

Exposed parts can be messy if you're not used to them.

Easiest option would be to have a VPS set up as a VPN server with the ports you need forwarded to it, and your applications connecting to it. If you don't want the extra maintenance, Cloudflare tunnels for you. Racknerd boxes are $1/month.

Docker containers run as root by default. Either change the flag or switch to podman if you don't need root access for your containers.

Time to get a router compatible with OpenWRT/OPNsense.

There probably are better ways, but I'm totoo at the moment to recollect.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

What does the NGINX proxy manager do? Is that to access the mediaserver?

Just in case, if you have jellyfin facing the web, jellyfin is not very secure, it has some vunurabilities unpatched for like forever I personally would recommend hiding it behind the VPN, and making it available to everyone at home Or as minimum or a good practice create locations in nginx to block for example logins outside of the VPN or house So to login you need to be at home.or connected to the VPN (useful if you have other people using your services, so they they they can login at home, but continue using everything outside)
