    KDE connect and/or Synching/Syncthing-fork.

    I don’t think you’re ready for self-hosting, but getting these installed and sorted out will help you move along that path, plus it will meet your needs in the mean time.

    Bit, as others have suggested, get familiar with networking a bit.

    You might want to get a raspberry pi or cheap SBC with a good amount of memory and disk space, and fuck around for a bit, trying some things.

















  • Yeah, I’ve got something like this. My WiFi router has aliased over my public domain name. So, it, having the authority in my network, tells people to go directly to the local address.

    If I leave, a refresh grabs the IP from a public/corporate DNS server, pointing to our external IP.

    It works nicely, even though home assistant now has a ‘private’ and ‘public’ domain name that I could be using instead. Still, one name. Easier on the brain.
