  • Streamlined VM deployment inside a headless server. Been scratching my head for 2 days now on getting a Debian VM to work as advertised. Every step of the way I keep thinking "surely it doesn't have to be this difficult, right?" And for some reason, a basic netplan edit to make a bridge broke all my NFS binds. Took all day to sort a brand new permissions issue that shouldn't be possible

  • Can someone educate me on why the more common ones like Debian and Arch aren't on this list? Every single day Linux communities force me to look at computer stuff in a different light

    Edit: I learned a lot and accidentally incited discourse oops

  • Removed

    Do I need a NAS ?

    Jump
  • Just to repeat what you're already hearing: if I started over from the beginning, I'd skip a NAS entirely and just build a server with a ton of bays (which I just bought). Funny enough, I came here to recommend Fractal Design cases too

  • Ah, I thought operation didn't matter, my bad

  • Faraday cage?

  • Let the record show that irmadlad saved the day here. I learned a lot about what I needed and no longer have to concern myself with something beyond my comprehension

  • Thank you, that's really solid advice. It turns out my efforts may have been misguided anyway. I think I was under the impression that "internet exposure" and "Cloudflare tunnel" had similar setups

  • I thought my VPN didn't, but they continue to disappoint me. According to the internet, my VPN is using CGNAT

  • See, this just shows how much I need to learn...I thought what I was trying to set up *was *the same thing as a "Cloudflare tunnel." Honestly, don't care how it gets implemented, I just assumed this was the easy way because that's what all the youtubers were suggesting. My end goal here is "I'm on my phone 100 miles away from home, open Jellyfin/Nextcloud/whatever, use domain.actually.works" without needing to disable my Proton/Air/Mullvad connection.

    But I've followed 4 or 5 "you won't believe how easy Nginx is" tutorials, and they're not working for me...

  • Ok, this is an extensive answer (thank you), but also a lot to unpack. Before I go making a bridge network, I wanna make sure I'm following you. I'm pretty inexperienced with self-hosting in general outside of Docker, but I'm especially a novice with anything networking so pardon my ignorance here.

    Yes, Jellyfin is accessible locally. Performance is the best I've ever seen it too. I uninstalled Tailscale on my Ubuntu server (it was causing networking issues, frankly I didn't understand how) and removed it from my tailnet dashboard, but Jellyfin is still remotely accessible via Tailscale (which is fine, I guess).

    At this point, my users and I are trying to avoid Tailscale on mobile devices when possible. Two reasons: 1. prevents maintaining regular VPN usage (deal breaker for a couple people) 2. switching between home wifi and mobile drops connectivity, required turning networking off and on again (deal breaker for me, I got spoiled by Synology's reverse proxy and can't go back)

    From what I can tell, there's no CGNAT trickery at play (actually the internet says otherwise). My DNS is a local Pihole+Unbound, in case that matters. The Ubuntu IP is static. Were you requesting the yaml of Jellyfin or Nginx?

    And I believe I was hoping to set up a "Cloudflare tunnel." I think I was under the impression that this "tunnel" *is *a reverse proxy.

  • Yes, I recently got it working. So LAN connectivity is fine and strangely I can remote access it via Tailscale even though the machine isn't on a tailnet

  • The whole reason I bought the domain is because I was told to stop using Tailscale for this purpose. I'm so confused...

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    Nginx Jellyfin, both Docker containers

  • "The other end"? As in my NAS? Because I can't check that machine due to lack of SSH

  • "Speed: 1000Mb/s". I was under the impression that my HDD (Seagate EXOS) would be roughly double that with some to spare.

    Sad to report it is not working. Instead I'm getting a different error every time I try to play media

  • Great answer, thank you. To your point, I tried to disable the Tailscale service on my Ubuntu machine and the consequences were bad enough that I'm going to try to avoid Tailscale as much as possible. In disabling it, it also shut down open-ssh, so I had go to the machine with a keyboard and monitor (gross). Re-ran iperf3...while still a bit lower than I'd expect, I don't think I have any room to complain here all things considered.

  • Of course, cat7a just tested all the cables too

  • Interesting. I've been using Tailscale for years, this is the first I've heard of it causing LAN networking problems. I thought the purpose of Tailscale was to establish a low maintenance VPN for people who won't/can't set up a reverse proxy, especially for beginners like myself. Later today I'll try to clear it out and report back

  • Oh yeah, Tailscale. I'll run iperf without it to compare, but I've never had an issue with my tailnet before

    still not great. And I think 'sudo tailscale up --accept-routes' broke my shit. Now SSH is failing. I'm calling it a night, I'll report back tomorrow
