Nothing obvious in the browser logs. Not even a 404 but ill check the other logs again. Thanks!

I need the website to serve to public users but the website itself is out of scope of this post.

One of the pages will be a video player

Apologies if it wasn’t clear.

Yes, I have an RTSP stream all the way to my local network. I can pick up the RTSP stream and also HLS, WebRTC etc. all locally. For all intents and purposes I have a stream ready to go on the local network at 192.168.X.A

The webserver is also on 192.168.X.Y and serves wordpress just fine.

I just dont know how to make the two talk. When I go to https:// website. com the embedded stream looking for 192.168.X.A doesn’t work

However if I go directly to 192.168.X.A in my browser the stream works just fine (I’ve ommited ports in this comment)

Free, self hostable, not subscription based, and lots of support. I’m making a whole website of which one page will be a “live stream”. Happy to explore other options though!

Edit: It won’t be a high traffic production website btw. Just a basic one for a select few users

Is that just to bring the webserver/ WordPress on to the same subnet? Because they already are at this point… everything’s on the 192.X subnet.

At this point we can ignore the VPN and just assume I’m trying to pick the stream up from mediaMTX

This, as well as the fediverse’s double edged feature that stuff pretty much can never be deleted (only “requested”).

This sounds like a privacy nightmare

In terms of raw data, any properly calibrated equipment should be identical.

You could build one yourself or have a look at how to get readings from your actual electricity meter. Both can be found on the open energy monitor project page. If you self build i guess you could use a lower value CT that amplifies lower currents and just not use it at higher loads?

Mains power fluctuates a LOT though so youll definitely need averaging to some extent

Theres so much to unpack…! But ill try and throw something in the mix.

I dont know if freenas/ truenas supports a lot of addons or whatever they call it but the moment you mentioned media and games my thought went to proxmox, though i suppose you might also be able to get away with a bunch of docker containers.

Soo… proxmox (or any hypervisor) will allow you to run multiple segregated VMs and containers.

On one vm you can install freenas/ truenas (whichever the good one is atm, im a little out of touch) and allocate the bulk storage drives to it.

Another vm for Plex/jellyfin

Another for minecraft, factorio, tf2

Another for nextcloud/ webserver

Nextcloud provides webdav/ caldav for calendar and contact syncing so sorted there. It also has a collabora app i think for collaborative document working.

In terms of security, you want to follow nextclouds secure configuration guide as a start.

The best way is to use a vpn to access your home network. Maybe give the others access if you trust them but you may then need to do some vlanning and segregation to protect the rest of your home network from them.

If you must expose to the net (which you may do with the games servers) then again, the config guide has you covered, use crowdsec, use https, use random ports, use strong passwords and mfa.

Do regular backups. 3 copies, 2 separate storage mediums, 1 offsite (3-2-1 rule).

Idk about the 8tb drive.

The above isnt the be all end all. Let it be the start of a discussion and your research journey

I second this. I use cospend on nextcloud with the moneybuster android app

Amazing! Congrats :)

For the dynamic ip address that you can get a free domain name from afraid or noip or maybe others and point your vpn to your domain name instead of direct ip address. Following that you can run cron job scripts to ensure the ip address that the domain points to is up to date

MediaMTX can sort a lot of this for you. Then its just a matter of accessing your feed on vlc.

VPN is the safer option of accessing your network

Personally, I use this as a camera proxy bit it can record. I use zoneminder otherwise

Someone might suggest something more elegant but one solution is a trunk port, maybe on your router, maybe a downstream switch (assuming wireless Ap is downstream of all of those) and connect that to wireguard on your server?

I use syncthing for this. Keepass and photos sync instantly

Mind telling us more about this please? What services are you running and how? Docker?
