Mislabeled files, not so much. Since there isn’t really a way to verify the content until it’s downloaded. You can adjust things like which file sizes are considered a certain quality, e.g. HD or 4k. But one approach could be that you define tags for release groups which you know and trust. And give those tags a higher score. This should lead to releases by those groups being preferred.

You can of course add multiple tags with positive and negative scores. For example I use tags to give a higher score to releases that have 5.1 audio, or which are non-hdr.

You can try to faff around with keywords and tags, e.g. give x264 or x265 a higher score rating, etc… As a failsafe you can configure a trashcan location and specify that all deleted files go there first and don’t get emptied for X amount of days.

UPS with usb allows you to configure a script to properly shutdown your server when a power outage happens and the UPS battery is about to run out.

Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS’s storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.

I use mailcow for self hosting.

I usually shy away from VMs because I have to dedicate a fixed amount of resources, e.g. ram.

I tend to rely on docker or bare metal services on a server. But I don’t use a server for gaming.

Am I missing something here? Why use a VM for gaming?

I’ll take Linux with proton any day over all that faffing with windows and a GPU pass through.

I self host using mailcow. Easy setup. Prevents most of the beginner pitfalls via exemplary documentation.

With nextcloud you can create shared folders. You can give him access to the shared folder via his own account. Anything put inside the shared folder is available to you both. He won’t be able to access the rest of your stuff.

Unless he has admin access to the server itself. But you can also enable encryption.

Containers, unless you have a specific need for a VM.

With a VM you have to reserve resources exclusively. If you give a VM 2gb of ram, then that’s 2gb of ram that you can’t use for other things, even if the guest OS is using less.

With Containers, you only need as many resources as the process inside the container requires at the time.

Sorry didn’t read your post entirely before I answered. Are you trying to have a second separate site, or just an alternative domain pointing to the same site?

Run the certbot client again and this time specify all the domains you want to be part of one certificate.

Mailcow definitely makes it very easy. Their official docs pretty much walk you through every step and tell you which DNS entries you need.

Bonus with mailcow is, that you basically get a self-hosted equivalent of an Exchange server. So, contacts+calender and so on. Plus some really good antispam features.

I’ve been hosting my own mail server, ever since I got into Linux. Most companies where I worked before, used self hosted email.

I’ve since migrated to using mailcow, which takes a lot of the headache out of it.

When you first start, it’s a bit daunting. But easily manageble, once you’ve gained some experience.
