The benefit here is the software by design can’t read your traffic - it’s using SNI to route, not the host header, so SSL pass thru keeps the payload private. It’s billed as shareable for that reason.

Also this is open source and you can host it yourself.

Edit: I concede BakedCatboy’s point.

In either case I would probably just use FRP.

Individually. If the app requires a DB, I put it in the compose file. This simplifies both backups and migrations. My tooling for backups has a pre and post script I can customize on a per app basis so I just have the pre do whatever *dump for that DB and the post clean it up (backup takes a tar of the folder).

Honestly I left proxmox/virtualization OSes a while back for simple RHEL. I have Docker for most everything and the few things I need full virt for the features Cockpit provides are more than enough. If I ever get back into clustering I’ll look at proxmox again.

Once you adjust it works well. The whole “find something at random to watch” paradigm is not really how *arr works, but if a coworker mentions a show I can have it ready when I get home.

This is what I do - well, I back up there entire container. But functionally the same.

There’s only a few pieces of media that I have backed up manually due to their rarity, but even those I don’t really care about.

Your connection being fine during downtime is a new detail not in your original post that changes the dynamics. That being said I believe my other response should be helpful.

Well, it can’t hurt to cross it off. You don’t need to get a domain from a registrar that offers dynamic DNS, you just need to register a domain (or try another dynamic DNS like the other user suggested) and use a DNS provider that is free and offers an API. I personally use Cloudflare, there are plenty of guides for setting up a dynamic record on CF.

For registering a domain you can use an affordable registrar, I’m a Porkbun customer - for a .com domain it’s like $11 for a year. No need to spend monthly.

Ha, if he said duckDNS I was going to recommend something more reliable like freedns.afraid.org.

That being said, the description in his post doesn’t make it seem that way.

Let’s back up some - a free dynDNS provider would not cause connection issues, unless DNS resolution itself stopped working - which is unlikely. It sounds more like the Internet you’re running off of itself has issues. What in particular is making you blame the dynDNS? Who is it?

Even back then caddy was being talked about. I don’t use caddy because, at least back then, it was only free for non commercial use (unless you compile it yourself).

I’ve been using Traefik for even longer though and haven’t ran into any major issues. Definitely recommend it.

I switched to Docker ages ago and don’t regret it. The other benefit aside from the “works on my machine” is that usually it’s very easy to back up with minimal bloat, especially for projects that don’t document what you should be backing up.

I can, and have, switch hosts on a moments notice and only have to mess with DNS updates.

Although I’ve been procrastinating switching to rootless Docker.

The only thing I run on a VM right now is Home Assistant. But I do that with Cockpit and KVM/virsh.

All my backups are tested, so upgrades (or recovering from a failure) are usually straightforward. The only thing I don’t back up is my collection of Linux ISOs, but that I can easily reacquire.

I have some invites.

9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol

Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.

If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

The fundraising was for the development of Pixelfed’s source code. e.g. adding new features, bug fixing, etc. - not for currently hosted servers and their infrastructure. So it went to @dansup.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

I’ve been using Porkbun for over 5 years and haven’t had any issues. I switched from a mix of Google Domains and Namecheap.

Generally the country based TLDs have that problem. That isn’t unique to porkbun or .de
