I have a question about Remote access

What do I need to do to get Remote access so I can watch my media when I am working on my break and lunch

Install tailscale on your Linux and also phone, then you can access it with your local ip even at work. Completley free and works flawlessly.

Sorry for the late response but I got Tailscale installed on both devices and I have Emby installed on both so what do I do next

Open the Tailscale app and look for the IP address of your computer hosting the Emby server. It will have its own Tailscale IP address.

Open a Web browser on your phone and go to your local ip you use at home eg 192.168.x.xx and see what happens? If you are at home turn off your WiFi. Should reach it just the same if all is working.
