Tsubodai OP , to selfhosted in VPNs, self hosting and security

I’m… a little offended by that! 🤣

Tsubodai OP , to selfhosted in VPNs, self hosting and security

Ah. VMs. I (stupidly?) set my storage array to use ext4, and apparently it needs to be a btrfs to be able to use VMs. I cba to rebuild it at the moment… so I just use docker for everything

Tsubodai OP , to selfhosted in VPNs, self hosting and security

Brilliant, many thanks!

Tsubodai OP , to selfhosted in VPNs, self hosting and security

Yeah, I definitely like the idea of leaving all services running locally, and connect to my VPN when needing to tinker/access.

I do have a couple of raspberry pi’s, but I prefer to run stuff on the Nas, I only use the pi’s as clients to stream from.

I’m gonna go lookup the difference between openvpn and wireguard :) And I have a dynamic DNS setup, that’s basically the same as a fixed IP, right?

Thanks!

Tsubodai OP , to selfhosted in VPNs, self hosting and security

I definitely didn’t set up any port forwarding or routing tables when setting up the inbuilt VPN.

Tailscale is great, and very handy to edit my compose files from, for example, work. But I didn’t think I could use it to access my services?

I’ve become pretty familiar with docker over the years, so I’m tempted to spin up a container just to see how it works.

I currently expose around 20 services through the reverse proxy, but only those ones that I can set a user/password for.

I don’t mind investing the time to learn more about all this. Networking stuff has always been akin to dark magic for me, it’s time to jump in…

Thanks!

Tsubodai , to selfhosted in how much backing up would you do of a media server?

I backup my music, photos, docker settings and that’s about it. Daily backups to one external HDD, but recently setup a second backup that’s runs weekly juuuuust in case. The music is only because it’s taken me a long time to build upy library, and that would be painful to lose. TV, movies, meh.

Tsubodai , to selfhosted in EBook Management

Similar story here. Readarr (two instances, one for ebooks, another for audio). Calibre server with a watchdir to add books from libgen/elsewhere, and organising stuff. Calibre-web because trying to use calibre server on a phone is painful. WebDAV connection through phone app (Moon+) as a backup (LAN only).

Oh, and Audiobookshelf for the audiobooks, but I generally prefer reading

Tsubodai , to selfhosted in Should I move to Docker?

Why not just run a watchtower container? Combined with a diun one to send gotify messages to my phone if you’re into that. (I am!)

Tsubodai , to selfhosted in Should I move to Docker?

Im probably the opposite of you! Started using docker at home after messing up my raspberry pi a few too many times trying stuff out, and not really knowing what the hell I was doing. Since moved to a proper nas, with (for me, at least) plenty of RAM.

Love the ability to try out a new service, which is kind of self-documenting (especially if I write comments in the docker-compose file). And just get rid of it without leaving any trace if it’s not for me.

Added portainer to be able to check on things from my phone browser, grafana for some pretty metrics and graphs, etc etc etc.

And now at work, it’s becoming really, really useful, and I’m the only person in my (small, scientific research) team who uses containers regularly. While others are struggling to keep their fragile python environments working, I can try out new libraries, take my env to the on-prem HPC or the external cloud, and I don’t lose any time at all. Even “deployed” some little utility scripts for folks who don’t realise that they’re actually pulling my image from the internal registry when they run it. A much, much easier way of getting a little time-saving script into the hands of people who are forced to use Linux but don’t have a clue how to use it.

Tsubodai , to piracy in E-Books, best places to get them?

Piling in to say been a member for 10+ years, it’s my go-to for any books (text and audio), and with the system they have, my ratio is somewhere in the 300+ range. All by keeping around 100 book torrents alive on an old raspberry pi and using the bonus points.

Tsubodai , to programmer_humor in every damn time ...

Neovim extension for vscode. Love it.

Tsubodai , to programmer_humor in every damn time ...

I have a coding folder “repos”. It’s on a remote machine though and I get this every time I connect to my code folder using a new remote host. So annoying!

Tsubodai , to asklemmy in What brought you to Lemmy?

Hang on, you’re not me, are you?

This is an exact description of my situation, fwiw.

Tsubodai , to nostupidquestions in Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?

Yeah by default, all sharepoint at my work can’t be mapped to a regular folder, so I’m stuck with having to make shortcuts to everything. And there’s so many, effectively means that my browser has loads of links open, and when I reboot the laptop, first thing I now do is to restore history to get them all back. Hate it.
