This. ProxMox will save you many times over while you are learning. It makes it so easy to backup and restore, try out new projects in a sandbox, and much much more.
I credit ProxMox with making me bolder about what I wanted to accomplish and having the courage and time to take risks while knowing I could always restore from backup in an instant.
I have about 60TB in mine. Media, man. Collecting is addictive.
I’m basically trying to do exactly what you are describing in your first paragraph. As I understand it, OBS Studio wants the camera directly connected to the device it is on, and MistServer allows it to be remotely connected from a different device on the local network. I’m trying to use Tailscale to create a local-ish network environment.
I haven’t heard of Dararhei before—I will definitely investigate that to see if it is a better solution than MistServer. From a cursory look, it seems like they basically do the same thing.
Because OBS studio allows me to have more control of the stream, do overlays on the screen, etc. I need to remotely connect to that software, and then it broadcasts it to Kick, YouTube, etc.
If I stream directly, then it will cut the stream if I lose cell connection, which is likely at times in Mexico, and I will basically be stuck to streaming on one service at a time.
The other advantage of having overlays with my username is that it will help people find me if I get clipped and put on YouTube by viewers.
This is an example of a service that does what I’m trying to do, but I’m trying to do the same thing for much cheaper:
Bruh, pirate? I’m talking about a livestream. A livestream of me that I will broadcast to an audience. Totally legal, no copyright—my original content.
Care to give me a hint?
To stream IRL in Mexico.
My apartment has internet that is just ok—I wanted the more reliable connection. I will be streaming IRL, so I can’t be on the local network.
They have streaming server services, but they are $100 per month, and I can get a high bandwidth VPS for much cheaper, and I have the tech skills to set things up myself. Just stumbling at the final hurdle here.
I know people knock it, but Plex has worked without issue for me for years. They have apps dedicated to every type of media for easy browsing. It’s so simple my mom can use it without help.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
It says right above that box that it requires the WHOOGLE_CONFIG_PREFERENCES_KEY or that option will be ignored. My guess is that you have to manually edit some config file to turn that key on, or generate an encryption key yourself that you provide through editing a config and adding it to that line.
Edit: you probably need to add your own domain or IP as the root URL too.
I was the original appreciator! Gluetun is life! Gluetun is truth! Gluetun is the way!
I’m so glad this post helped somebody!
Indeed! There are many simple and quality ways to set it up, and users can pick anything they prefer. FOSS is dope like that.
I think the questions are more prominent because a wider audience of people are becoming more privacy conscious.
In my case, I haven’t had the advantage of going to school for any of this, so I have to pick up knowledge where I can. If there is a reliable tool available to accomplish my task, I’m more likely to use it than to pursue a more manual solution because even simple computing questions can be rabbit holes that result in hours of reading and learning.
The reason that I made this post is because your options are always limited by your awareness of available solutions, and I presumed there might be someone else out there who has struggled getting a VPN reliably bound to a service.

They’ve gone up a little, but they’re starting at $11 per year.
Are you using Nginx to make your app available on the web? If you are on a home internet connection, how confident are you that your ISP has given you a static IP?
Running Nginx and Tailscale to route traffic through a VPS with a static IP has been way more reliable for me than any attempt at static IP hosting from a home connection in the past. At $5-$15 per year, a VPS is cheaper than the hassle of troubleshooting with an ISP at home.
Maybe I’m just dense, but how is that done? I don’t see anything in tautulli settings, and I don’t see any plugin scripts for it.
I have really enjoyed Kavita. There are a few things that are still a little rough around the edges, but it is a project with a lot of potential.
Reinstalling the machine from scratch is the impulse I’m trying to grow out of!
Making it pseudo-public and not using docker would be a mistake, in my opinion. Anything public-ish can benefit from the extra security of docker’s sandboxing.
It will also make it much easier to run things through a VPN with Gluetun—something you definitely want to do if you have strangers using your SearXNG instance.
You should really consider a container of some kind.
