General Discussion / WebHosting on OPNSense
« on: June 16, 2020, 09:54:31 pm »
I have searched and searched and have not found the answers I have been looking for so I thought a shout out might be in order.
What I am trying to do is use a mini-pc with OPNSense installed (which is working splendidly) and host a media server like emby (https://emby.media/). Additionally, I would like to use it as a web server.
I have seen much about NGINX, but there are many warnings not to use it in this way due to security issues and PHP active queries.
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.

- Has this been done before and how?
- Instead of trying to run a server on OPNSense, would it be better/easier to run OPNSense on a server, possibly with VirtualBox and, if so, what is the best method of deployment? (Redhat, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, etc...)
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.
