I replaced Nextcloud with syncthing (files) & radicale (calendar, contacts & todos)
No-one used the calendar on NC, they just used their phones, Outlook, etc
No-one used the photo gallery on NC - that’s now Immich … again, with syncthing.
During the early days, just doing an update would break things.
For a small home setup, NC is too big, too clunky and just not the right tool.
Critical Synology Vulnerability Let Attackers Remote Execute Arbitrary Code
Just build your own. It’s easy. Move on.
Yeah, that’s all fine - when it works, it works well… But sometimes it just seems to get caught up in an error and can’t seem to reset for a few minutes. But ok, looks like your setup’s working ok, so must be just mine. I disabled a load of Google stuff and run trackercontrol (a local VPN on the phone that blocks stuff), so maybe I’ve broken something…
Hmm… I’m using gotify with a Ras Pi to send the alerts and I sometimes get long delays…
AFAICT it’s the phone, not the Pi, but all I can see are lots of websocket errors in the gotify client the time… are you not getting those then?
we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team
Guess they’re so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell
Yep, hence my comment…
You should see the fear on people’s faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.
My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.
That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies… if needed.
Backups… fine
When’s the World “test you can restore” day?
Ok, didn’t think about “unlimited” actually being slower - thanks for the insight.
I’m running a pfSense f/w at the edge, so split horizon DNS and haproxy are already sorted… I’ll check out wireguard - should be straight forward
Thanks
I’m considering going this route - just to hide my (static) home IP.
What’s the rough sizing I’d need for a VPS? I’m guessing the smallest possible, but with the best / unlimited data usage?
Yep, it’s something that more people need to consider to keep their free (as in the source code is not a prisoner) software going
It looks like jellyfin costs ~$500/MONTH just for their hosting fees: https://opencollective.com/jellyfin
If everyone using jellyfin contributed $1/month, I bet that would be covered
(No, I’m not affiliated with them)
What’s the general thoughts on running a TOR node?
I think an exit node would probably get my (domestic) ISP asking some questions and / or my static IP getting blocklisted quickly
Yep, BOINC has regularly warmed my home office over many a winter… until I shutdown that machine.
Maybe I should try again…
Presuming you can put OpenWRT on it, it’ll be fine as a single box
IMHO, I just prefer having it all as separates and then fix / change / upgrade parts as I go - but I soon run out of places to hide them
Is the ISP supplied box also your wifi?
If not, IMHO I’d use the ISP equipment as a pass-through modem (if possible on that model?) and have a separate OpenWRT / pfSense firewall do all the heavy lifting for DHCP, DNS, ad blocking, etc
Depends if you’d then need another WAP, of course
Feel free to ask over at !homeassistant@lemmy.world too.
But to echo some other comments here, whatever you do, keep it simple and ensure a botched HA update doesn’t freeze / cook you by using standard components as a backup / failsafe
Ok, thanks. Yeah, I don’t use PostgreSQL much, so I have to get my head into it.
That said, it’s only for Immich, so I could just wipe it and start again which might be quicker… it only took 3 days to scan the photos, it might take me longer to update the database 😉
Updated my NAS recently and Immich’s database stopped working due to some PostgreSQL update that needs something changed manually, so I need to get my head around that.
Also trying to get a tablet to run as a 2nd satellite for HomeAssistant voice commands and no matter what I do, only the 1st one responds to wakeword… but I tend to give up after everyone’s gone to bed as I’m literally in a room on my own talking to myself…
Using PfBlockerNG?
It’s a great piece of software, but I had a hell of a time blocking some countries for torrents.
A single IP in China was repeatedly downloading an Ubunto ISO, I think due to the various methods of peers finding each other, so in the end I had to create an additional alias to block outgoing traffic even though only I was only allowing specific other countries in.
I agree, the acronym NAS does indeed mean that.
But would you call a Hypervisor a NAS?
When I say NAS, I mean NAS. Bulk storage remotely accessible on the network.
When someone starts talking about all their VMs/Containers, I understand that to mean something else… I’d prefer to use a generic term like “server” instead.
Whatever you end up with
