What?

atzanteol , to selfhosted in Dynamic DNS vs Dedicated VPN IP

To provide a bit more detail then - you would setup your proxy with DNS entries “foo.example.com” as well as “bar.example.com” and whatever other sub-domains you want pointing to it. So your single IP address has multiple domain names.

Then your web browser connects to the proxy and makes a request to that server that looks like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">GET / HTTP/1.1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Host: foo.example.com
</span>

nginx (or apache, or other reverse proxies) will then know that the request is specifically for “foo.example.com” even though they all point to the same computer. It then forwards the request to whatever you want on your own network and acts as a go-between between the browser and your service. This is often called something like host-based routing or virtual-hosts.

In this scenario the proxy is also the SSL endpoint and would be configured with HTTPS and a certificate that verifies that it is the source for foo.example.com, bar.example.com, etc.

Nginx isn’t for security it’s to allow hostname-based proxying so that your single IP address can serve multiple backend services.

You’re not “broadcasting” anything. You’re running a server.

Your browser is the thing sending your ip to every site you visit. And beyond simple geolocation data it’s not that useful to anybody.

atzanteol , to selfhosted in Reverse proxy

The reverse proxy is going to have a config that says “for hostname ‘foo’ I should forward traffic to foo.example.com:port”.

If you setup the rproxy at home then ssh just needs to forward all port 443 traffic to the rproxy. It doesn’t care about hostnames. The rproxy will then get a request with the hostname in the data and forward it to the appropriate target on behalf of the requester.

If you setup the rproxy at the vps then yes - you would need to forward different ports to each backend target. This is because the rproxy would need to direct traffic to each target individually. And if your target is “localhost” (because that’s where the ssh endpoint is) then you would differentiate each backend by port.

That’s basically it. Definitely “not for me” either but some people like GUIs on these things.

atzanteol , to linux in Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

Right, your claim that ext4 “isn’t performant because it’s old” is crap.

atzanteol , to linux in Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

LVM creates “block devices” and is FS agnostic. You can install btrfs on an LVM volume if you wanted. Or any other FS for that matter.

But since it doesn’t know anything about the FS it can be a bit more cumbersome to modify volumes (especially when shrinking).

atzanteol , to linux in Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

Note that ext4 is damn old and thus also not as performant as more modern ones like btrfs or bcachefs

This is not true. BTRFS has more features but ext4 is very performant. They’re both similar enough that I promise you that you wouldn’t notice unless you had some very specific use-case that needed to be performance tuned.

What do you think “being old” has to do with performance?

atzanteol , to linux in Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

If you don’t care any will do. ext4 is fine but check the “use LVM” button during install if you do go with ext4 since it will give you better partitioning options later.

Because nvidia isn’t as hard to get working as people pretend it is.

Or streaming to a device that doesn’t support your encoding. Something like an android tv that isn’t as flexible and may need on the fly transcoding. You can be careful to select a well supported encoding on the server if needed.

By configuring journald to forward messages to syslog as is the default.

“forces on you” 🙄

Edit: Systemd has been around for 14 years. Did you never think to google this?

atzanteol , to linux in Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement

That’s true - you can often recover a bad ACL. I was thinking more of the “niche use case” where separating duties and restricting root are concerned.

atzanteol , to linux in Linux for Kids?

I abhor the idea of things made “for kids”. I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?

I’d just install a normal distro. Let the kiddo break shit and learn to fix it. Keep backups for recovery and probably isolate the system on your network for if/when kiddo does something stupid. Talk about security, being responsible, etc. We learn through mistakes not by playing in safe walled-gardens.
