Project Overview: We are looking for an experienced developer/sysadmin to help set up a secure web server on an Ubuntu PC in our office. The goal is to deploy FileRun ([login to view URL]) as a browser-based file access and sharing system, connected to our existing NAS storage (Synology & QNAP). We want to testing FileRun to see if it works for our purposes. It will be running on our in-house network for the time being. Scope of Work: 1. Install and configure web server stack on Ubuntu: Preferred: Nginx + PHP-FPM + MariaDB (Open to Apache if justified) 2. Install and configure FileRun: Connect to mounted NAS directories (we currently have an issue connecting to QNAP but are running some tests) Set up user access and permissions Ensure stable performance for large media files 3. Domain & DNS setup (guidance required): Advise how to set up and use a subdomain of our existing company domain (e.g. [login to view URL]) Assist with DNS configuration Configure external access if needed 4. Security setup: HTTPS Basic firewall configuration (UFW) Secure server access (SSH hardening) 5. Remote access strategy: Recommend best approach (direct access vs VPN such as Tailscale) Implement chosen solution 6. Documentation (If needed): Provide simple handover notes for: Starting/stopping services Adding users Basic troubleshooting Environment: - Ubuntu PC (on-premise) - NAS storage (QNAP & Synology) mounted to Ubuntu - Office internet connection (static IP TBD) Key Requirement: We need guidance on domain usage: - Should we extend our existing company domain (recommended), or use a separate domain? Best practice for a secure, client-facing file sharing system Deliverables: - Fully working FileRun system accessible via browser - Test connections to server (QNAP is currently being tested) - Secure HTTPS setup - Domain/subdomain configured - Basic admin documentation Preferred Experience: - Linux server administration (Ubuntu) - Web server setup (Nginx/Apache) - Experience with FileRun or similar self-hosted systems - Networking and DNS configuration Timeline: 3 to 7 days - we need to set up the domain before we can request a filerun license. Note: Please include a brief description of similar setups you have done. Budget: $300 to $600.

Hello There, You want a secure, production-ready FileRun deployment on your office Ubuntu server that seamlessly integrates with your existing Synology and QNAP NAS storage. 1) Are your NAS units currently sharing data via NFS or SMB for the Ubuntu mount points? 2) Do you have administrative access to your company domain’s DNS provider to create the required CNAME or A records? 3) Will the large media files require on-the-fly video transcoding or just direct browser-based downloads and previews? We will transform your office PC into a private, high-speed cloud that gives your team the ease of Dropbox without the recurring subscription fees. By centralizing your NAS files into a single browser-based portal, you eliminate the friction of searching across different drives and ensure your team can access assets securely from any desk. You get a professional, branded system under your own company subdomain that makes sharing files with clients safe, fast, and entirely under your own control. I will deploy the Nginx stack with optimized PHP-FPM settings to handle heavy file transfers and large media previews without application timeouts. I will resolve your QNAP mounting issues by configuring stable fstab entries with the correct GID/UID permissions to ensure FileRun maintains persistent read-write access to your storage.
