  • Honestly, every hw that is not going automatically into a power save mode when not used is utterly crap, even my home grade switches are able to do so.

    So, the only thing you need to do is to buy recent hw and of course not over size your hw necessities. But recent hw tends to be more expensive, so in the end, it is an excel driven decission.

    And once this is said, be careful, some hw suffer more for a on/off cycle than from a continuous power on mode. Think in hdd power cycles or condensation/ salt-rust problems in high humidity areas.






  • If you are interested in the photo storage then start… With the storage.

    So pick up a nas or something similar, pay a bit more for the super intuitive fancy gui product and the start from there.

    Learn what is nas and how to connect to a pc Thne learn how to do the same with your smartphone Then learn a bit about networking Then… Continuous for the hardest itch and try to Scratch it

    And if you need support, come back here, check videos and web pages or even chatgpt, for the basic stuff is quite acceptable




  • Yes, it is possible, but you need a domain (example.com) that I guess you want to be resolved from internet and a public face ip.

    After that, yep, if the reverse proxy can resolve tailscale names (basically it has tailscale installed in the same machine) and the service is reachable via tailscale, then it is perfect.

    In fact in my setup I have a public domain name that is translated into a private domain name in the reverse proxy (exactly what you want with the addition of tailscale)
