For people interested in a minimalist setup, Tailscale + Samba can go very far. I personally use Foobar2000 and VLC on the client side.

It’s not pretty nor great with bad connections, but there is basically no maintenance.

This, but plain Wireguard instead of Tailscale. This assumes you have a public IP. But you can't do true self-hosting without one.

		Tailscale IS Wireguard. With all the reasonable management added. You can selfhost the control part via Headscale. Plain Wireguard can be a hassle for most - that bore Netbird, WG-Easy, Netmaker... out of those Tailscale got it the most right.

foobar's rock solid. I have a portable copy on a mounted NAS share and it's great for transcoding and being an ad hoc music player while setting up new computers
