They banned the user that did the robust cybersecurity audit. They banned everyone who pointed it out or linked to the post or mentioned it. They took the subreddit private. The clown dev has a donate feature and claims that it will be used to put his daughter through school. Just scum all around.
Personally I prefer my software to give me options, I hate when stuff like this is picked for me when equally valid options exist
I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searx, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).
Welcome! Good to meet you.
Hardware: - hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF - i5-8500 - 32 GB RAM - 250 ssd boot disk - 1TB nvme - 2 x 4 TB SSD
I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:
Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.
I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.
The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user
Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)
Hey all,
I’m setting up a homeserver and trying to figure out the best way to access it remotely. I’ve been looking at different solutions, but I’m a little stuck.
I’ve been looking at VPNs, but it feels weird, to route everything through my home IP when I’m also trying to use a commercial VPN for privacy / to combat services fingerprinting me based on my IP.
I’m currently considering a reverse proxy setup with an authentication provider like authentik or authelia, but as far as I understand, that wouldn’t work well with accessing services through an app on my mobile device (like for jellyfin music for example.) I did think about just opening up the ports and using a DDNS with a reverse proxy, but is’nt that like a big security risk?
Keep in mind I am no network admin, but I don’t have anything against learning if someone can point me in the right direction.
Also I heard some people say that on proxmox you should use unprivileged containers instead of vms for your services, does that hold up?
Any recommendations for tools or approaches?
That’s a bummer. It’s great for this stuff, don’t need processing power or memory, and I don’t really care if it got nuked for some reason
This is the best option if you don’t want to manage your own VPN server.
The title says basically everything but let me elaborate.
Given the recent news about the sold out of harddrives for the current year and possibly also the next years (tomshardware article) I try to buy the HDDs I want to use for the next few years earlier than expected.
I am on a really tight budget so I really don’t want to overspend. I have an old tower PC laying around which I would like to turn into a DIY NAS probably with TrueNAS Scale.
I don’t expect high loads, it will only be 1-2 users with medium writing and reading.
In this article from howtogeek the author talks about the differences and I get it, but a lot of the people commenting seem to be in a similar position as I am. Not really a lot of read-write load, only a few users, and many argue computing HDDs are fine for this use case.
Possibilites I came up with until now: 1. Buy two pricey Seagate Ironwolf or WD Red HDDs and put them in RAID1 2. Buy three cheaper Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue and put two in RAID1 and keep one as a backup if (or should I say when?) one of the used drives fails.
I am thankful for every comment or experience you might have with this topic!
It is a gamble, fuck the my butt bozos for speculating us into economic uncertainty
F in the chat for your savings, least you’ve got the peak of home NASes. Pretty fuckin cool and I hold out hope when the drop comes in a… 6 months to 3 years…? that I’ll be able to afford full SSD NAS life. The power savings, the speed, the no worries of shock or vibrations, the silence - jealous
This is wild and a rather unfortunate situation… Ty for sharing.
This is great thank you for this since the next step on my journey is the ARR stack!
Best lf luck, hit me up if you have any questions regarding it 😊
Hey y’all, this actually isn’t self hosting related, but who have you had good luck with for paid matrix hosting?
Right now, I do enough tinkering with everything that I would be willing to just pay to host a matrix server for my friends.
Unless it really is easy enough to do it on a synology nas for text/voice/screen share…but do I need to pay for a domain still?
We are (like everyone) on matrix.org now but realize we need to move eventually.
If you have your own VPS anyway, there is the Matrix Ansible Playbook which makes the setup with docker containers very easy. But I also get the sentiment that you don’t want to tinker around all the time and just want stuff to work.
Kudos to you for using Matrix in the first place, I hope you can bring a lot of your friends and family to switch over to it. So far this has been the biggest hurdle on my journey 😅
If you’re Canadian, you can get free and cheap .ca domains https://www.cira.ca/en/why-choose-ca/
This should be excellent for selfhosters that have all their services in one VM. I haven’t tried this myself, but I think this means you can:
- you can create memorable links instead of memorizing port numbers: jellyfin.foo-bar.ts.net
- share one service from a machine instead of all of them in a more intuitive way
If you’re new to Tailscale Services, it lets you publish internal resources like databases, APIs, and web servers as named services in your tailnet, using stable MagicDNS names. Rather than connecting to individual machines, teams connect to logical services that automatically route traffic to healthy, available backends across your infrastructure. This decoupling makes migrations, scaling, and high availability far easier, without reconfiguring clients, rewriting access policies, or standing up load balancers. Our documentation has details on use cases, requirements, and implementation.
Just minor issue that maybe I’m not configuring correctly but when I use private resources I have to use the Ip instead of the alias. Looked online and it seemed other users were experiencing the same issue of not being able to use the alias. At this point I’m almost thinking it might be easier set up a second traefik container that just handles all the local connections and configure manually. Would love to just type my *.local address and have it be simple like that. Otherwise I love it and everything else it comes with! An alternative could be netbird, but want to see if I can figure out that small tid bit of pangolin first.
Just tried it, Services doesn’t work with funnel. You need to be on the tailnet.
This is not directly selfhosting but related. I have 2 Proxmox hosts which both support Intel AMT which is a remote control tool similar to supermicro IPMI, supporting KVM, power cycles and more. I wanted it to be able to repair stuff in case I can’t reach the servers via ui/ssh.
I set it up and it worked fine for months. I could access both on ip.address:16992.
Lately, one of them started disappearing after days or weeks. Rebooting brings it back, but it’s a running server and I don’t want to reboot it so often. The server is working fine otherwise.
Does anyone know that problem? It’s hard to pin down since it can’t be seen on the host linux (port not shown in netstat for example).
Apologies. I misread apparently. I thought your Proxmox boxes were disappearing.
They’re right here in the shelf :-)
In this post I share some my personal journey with some selfhostesd open source apps and how they helped me. Maybey you will find some stuff in there that helps you as well.
Ah. I tried /feed.xml and /feed.rss, but didn’t think to check just /feed/
Great post. Just a heads up, I feel like the “loading” screen with it’s fade in and out animations and all actually make your website feel slower than it needs to.
Do you have an estimate on the energy consumption?
Oh, so the spec is fairly correct at 97W idle.
And being an old, slow CPU means it’s not efficient at load either (higher peak consumption & longer precising time needed).
cool
