Orion Browser on iOS/iPadOS is compatible with (some, not all) Firefox/Chrome addons. Add SponsorBlock for YouTube, uBlock Origin and Video Background Play Fix from addons.mozilla.org and use the YouTube website as is?
Used to run my own Invidious instance I used with Yattee but it got banned and then for some reason ate shit and died completely.
Or maybe it pops the link out of the browser into a dedicated media player which has decent codec support.
I think this is exactly what it does.
With iDevices no luck with mkv’s if I remember right, but not sure if I have even tested one. Most my files are mp4 x264.
Mostly using the ”browser” (so shitty that you can barely call it one) on my LG smart TV, and sometimes some iDevices, but I’ll consider myself lucky with codecs then. Even mkv’s play on LG without hiccups. Only small thing I miss are subtitles which these devices do not seem to support, even if I’d mux them in as a track.
Someone should explain me why transcoding is even needed (other than in case bandwidth is an issue)? My ”media server” at the moment is a custom ffmpeg script to edit all x264 mp4 files it finds by moving the moov atom to the beginning of the file (and what ever the similar thing for x265 was), and then lighttpd to serve them via dir listing. No file has yet had playback issues even over the internet…
What is free though is LibreOffice, or some Nextcloud document addons (to a degree) if ”cloud” is the thing.
Nice, but the bots may not understand the joke.
And not only that but they will tag the domain with ”there is something here”, and maybe some day someone will take a closer look and see if you are all up-to-date or would there maybe be a way in. So better to just drop everything and maybe also ban the IP if they happen to try poke some commonly scanned things (like /wp-admin, /git, port 22 etc.) GoAccess is a pretty nice tool to show you what they are after.
Not at hand no, but I’m sure any of the LLMs can guide you through the setup if googling does not give anything good.
Nothing very special about all this, well maybe the subdir does require some extra spells to reverse proxy config.
Use a reverse proxy (caddy or nginx proxy manager) with a subdomain, like myservice.mydomain.com (maybe even configure a subdir too, so …domain.com/guessthis/). Don’t put anything on the main domain / root dir / the IP address.
If you’re still unsure setup Knockd to whitelist only IP addresses that touch certain one or two random ports first.
So security through obscurity :) But good luck for the bots to figure all that out.
VPN is of course the actually secure option, I’d vote for Tailscale.

UTM is the way to go on modern Macs, and even iOS/iPadOS too! Free, built on QEMU and super easy to spin up virtual machines with any architecture.
”Yet” ??
I had the OG Jolla as my daily driver circa iPhone 4 era, and it was great experience overall. Running Android apps and whatnot. Eventually the camera and display quality made me stop using it. Still boot it maybe once a year for the fun of it… I think the Sailfish OS did even receive updates till ~2021.
