  • First home server advice

    Jump

  • Can’t say enough good things about ProxMox. Pair it with Proxmox Backup Server and you’re golden. If you/an upgrade breaks something, just restore that LXC/VM from backup. Can’t pay enough for that kind of peace of mind. And PBS will take care of deduplication, retention and verification.

  • Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?

    Jump

  • Nginx from day one. Well documented, it works. If something doesn’t work chances are you are a quick googlefu away from the solution.

  • could you be able to self host on a raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Yes BUT while booting from SSD. Anything write/read intensive will shred your SD card in a matter of months.

  • Web Personal Finance App

    Jump

  • Actual.

    Tried most of them about a year ago and then it was best for my needs. Situation could be different now but for me Actual still works great.

    YMMV

  • First experience with self-hosting my DNS in the Intranet

    Jump

  • For me 2x local pihole + unbound works great. I also have pihole + unbound running on a VPS exposed to my tailnet, serving as a backup when my home changes IP or goes offline.

  • What's the point on hosting RSS reader's?

    Jump

  • When you realise that most of hosted ones make articles as read after 30 days it makes you wanna throw someone through the window.

  • What access points do you use?

    Jump

  • Went all in with UniFi some time back. No regrets.

    Currently running a few U6s. No real motivation to upgrade to U7s.

  • Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io?

    Jump

  • Tried a few, settled on Pairdrop for myself.

  • What do you host for your finances and why!

    Jump

  • Actual has been working fine for me. Supports all the family’s banks and credit cards I import manually.

  • My setup for using Pi-hole outside my home

    Jump

  • I have ddns on Cloudflare. It works great, until your home IP changes. After that wireguard will happily hammer the old IP, till something breaks the tunnel and it reestablishes it to the new IP. Working as intended. My workaround was forcing the IP change over night while everyone was home.

    Tailscale sorts all the issues I had.

  • My setup for using Pi-hole outside my home

    Jump

  • It will resolve the IP from the domain when the tunnel goes up and will keep using that one. Working as intended.

    Overlay networks solve that issue.

  • Access control for selfhosted services via VPS?

    Jump

  • For web services you can use free Cliudflare tier. Only it’s IPs are visible. Providing you trust Cloudflare.

  • My setup for using Pi-hole outside my home

    Jump

  • For me its been wireguard with split tunnel but that had a glaring issue with my home IP change (running 2 Pi-hole+unbound instances on separate network segments and hardware). Some time ago I switched to tailscale and added a Pi-hole on a VPS. Closed system, nothing exposed to the wide internet, works 99.99…% of the time, whole family protected against low hanging fruit attacks and adds.

  • Thing is - “mini” PCs old enough to have 3.5 slots are probably way too old to have decent CPUs.

  • DNS?

    Jump

  • 💭➕🙏

  • DNS?

    Jump

  • I would suggest 2 pi-hole + unbound stacks on different hardware, preferably on different switches. That way you can restart/fiddle with things without your family going crazy about “internet not working”.

  • I'm at a loss on what server to buy

    Jump

  • I would suggest looking into TiniMiniMicro used PC and let NAS do NAS things. Try to get a PC with decent number of thread and put as much RAM as it supports. Install ProxMox on it and go nuts. Learn Linux TV has a great series of videos on it.

  • Latency with pi-hole + wireguard

    Jump

  • I’ve been away 1-2k km for weeks and noticed no difference. With proper network setup DNS should be the least of your worries.

    The only time you’ll notice it is with extremely bad mobile coverage when VPN has issues reestablishing the connection.

  • Why Prometheus + Grafana over other monitoring options?

    Jump

  • I’ve been using Zabbix for years now. Does what I need it to do.

  • How do I download YouTube videos in 1080p instead of 4k with yt-dlp?

    Jump

  • This has been working for me for ages:

    -f "bestvideo[height<=1080][dynamic_range=SDR]
