I'm... a little offended by that! 🤣

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

Brilliant, many thanks!

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!

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!

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.

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

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!)

Lurking to see what folks think.. I have a really old nook which I rarely use anymore. Reasons for getting it was my ebooks are all in epub format, and I heard scary things about Amazon doing shady things with my books/data.

After setting up a home server, I now self host my books and haven't found an easy way of transferring books onto it, other than plugging it in with a cable. (Tried rooting it, kind of got it to work but it wasn't great).

I really miss being able to send any new epubs to it over WiFi/email/without needing a cable.

Now I usually read books on my phone, using Moon+ reader app and a WebDAV (LAN) connection to my server. Calibreweb is running to enable me to grab books when I'm travelling/away from home, but for long trips I'll sync the nook up with a cable. Battery life is incredible compared to a phone..

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.

Neovim extension for vscode. Love it.

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!
