I just recently started playing around with an old pc as my homeserver and am curious of any recommendations for lesser known self hostable foss software that you would recommend

    I think you might have confused it with something else. I will explain how to what you want :)

    1. Make an account with tailscale. You can login with your Google account.
    2. Install tailscale on the computer that has plex.
    3. Go to the terminal and run sudo tailscaled up or just run the tailscale executable in windows/mac.
    4. It will ask you to go to a url and Authorize it, login here with your tailscale account.
    5. Install tailscale in your gf’s computer.
    6. Ask her to send you the url, login and Authorize that.
    7. Now if you go to tailscale website you should be able to see both computers. Look up the IP of the Plex comuter.
    8. http://plexip:32400/web from your gf’s computer will let her access Plex.

    That’s it :)
