I presume they mean pointing their cloudflare tunnel to direct lemmy.example.com to http://localhost/:[port], and I don’t think there’s any special rules about that port from cloudflares site.
I use tunnels and ports in about that range for all my sites, and don’t have any problems.
You probably don’t need me to tell you, but keep good backups. Friend of mine recently had his account nuked without any reason given, and without the possibility of recourse.
I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.
I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.
I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.
You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.
As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.
Edit: Comment was in wrong place, refiled as op level comment.
Finally someone who actually uses a Vostro. Always found that name unreasonably funny.
I set up my current desktop while reading Gaiman’s The Sandman, so it’s called Morpheus. Because I felt I needed to keep with the theme, my laptop is hades, my phone persephone, my server apollo, my router helios, the media centre PC is orpheus, the pi that boots and updates it outside of usage hours is eurydice, and the pi that runs home assistant is zeus (because it’s responsible for light(n)ing.
Oh, and the work profile on my phone is sisyphos.
There’s also qobuz. They have a streaming service, but you can also straight up buy a lot of albums and download them drm free.
Looking at my friends who use Instagram, it’s basically for stuff that’s either too many photos for a single post, so it’s made into a themed story, or for stuff you wanna show off, even though it isn’t quite good enough for it’s own post, so it’s on your profile for a bit, but not permanently.
Thunder interprets both as communities, probably because a mistyped community is much more likely than a random email address.
It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.
Perform better is pretty relative. My Pi 4 running home assistant is super responsive, while also using little power and being completely silent, but it only runs a network of zigbee lights and sensors, controlled by zigbee switches.
I agree that more power is necessary for any local voice applications, but depending on the use case, the pi probably isn’t worse than the alternatives.
OwnCloud has been acquired by KiteWorks a few months ago. Doesn’t have to mean anything, but makes me feel cautious about it’s future.
Yeah, I feel like we’re missing some info here.
I have to admit that I have no experience with yuno. Always seemed interesting, but not like something that fits into my work flow.
If they’re self-hosting at home (which I’m also doing for some services), I’d presume they’re probably running their stuff on a single machine, so I’m not sure where their router would come Into it. The data the cloudflare tunnel process receives should look the same to the router no matter the port it is ultimately sent to, and when it is sent to an address internal to the machine, shouldn’t pass through the router again.
