Same, buts been several years now. Att fiber. Don’t use their modem either (except post power outage to establish coms back then I remove it.) I do use a ddyns service just in case. But it’s been the same ip for years

Pivpn is the package to get. Makes wire guard dead simple to setup. Just have to do a port forward on your router

What hardware do you have already? Is pihole running on a rpi? Look into setting up wire guard or tail scale. Then you can have pihole on your phone while your not at home.

Go old school and setup some basic website with apache2.

It did change. One of the many changes listed. It’s using a different web server, I forget now, but moved away from the previous one.

I mean, the fastest method is likely to just plug the phone into PC and pretend it’s a flash drive?

Xerox has been great for me. They dont just make giant copiers you need a forklift to deliver and a giant service contract. They still make small home office desk printers.

After wiring up to my network and giving it a static, it’s just worked, for all devices for everyone. No need to download or install anything either.

…is as mod by Vaskii

Can confirm, I’ve been using it for about three years now. With some minimal tweaks for my own us case.

It auto updates itself, can use LetsEncrypt. I’ve had an A to A+ rating from their own security thing. It does usually stay a few minor point releases behind, but that’s never been an issue for me.

I set mine up with a no-ip dyndns for free. Lots of options here op. But in the long run having any domain is going to smooth out the process. Also don’t skip over LetsEncrypt cert.

Overall good. The only slowness is right after login. After it loads everything it’s pretty responsive. Using the snap version (I know, snap bad. But in this case it was the only way I got it going.).

Self updates,.get email notifications when it updateab

Not sure if the rpi3 can use the 64bit version, or if it’s possible for it use an SSD like the the 4 can?

I’m using an old HP z420 box. It supports up to 128gigs of ecc ram (which I have), has tons of drive and SATA options.

It could be possible to repurpose the chassis for custom builds too.
