Usually 2.5" hdd tends to be more silent. But they are definitely worse from a nas perspective and not so in the ratio €/gb.

The solution with non mechanical disks is by far the most silent, but prepare the wallet and probably a kidney too.

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.

Still it is not clear to me how the internal reverse proxy may get a valid certificate when the domain name is pointing to the vps. Do you copy later manually to the internal proxy?

And if so, how do you overcome the invalid certificate warning when you are accessing your services locally?

Question, how do you deal with the certificates if you have an external vps doing passthroy?

Because that certificate will not match the domain name of the vps and then everything will fail or at least trigger a lot of alerts.

I really fail to see how an internal backend in a different subnet can send the right certificate

Ey! congrats for the donation. I hope your personal project succeeds!

This could be funny if you have a d event computer, specially for od games

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

Nginx is considered battle tested.

Very few products have this level of puic scrutiny and and a good record of being safe.

Once this is said, the majority of problems come from misconfigurations, so triple check the things

OK I understood that the request came from internet and tailscale was to link the reverse proxy and the server.

In this case try ipv6, pretty sure you have ipv6 and you will have a public address.

But for this case you will need a dns in your network so example.com can be resolved and then your proxy will make the right request.

Yes doable.

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)

Start with a nas, the rest will naturally come when you try to access your data for outside, or organize your data, or save more data types to your nas.

Your nas should be the central device and you build the rest around it.

Now, The question is, which nas? I would recommend synology, they are not too performance, a bit expensive and the company is lately doing suspicious moves, but the sw and the hw are rock solid and they are quite good for beginners from almost all angles. Extra point for how many howtos and tutorials are present in internet.

Once you are comfortable with them, you will realize the rest

How, because Overton window says the opposite

OK, I’ll take a look

Should I give it a try?

I’ve seen things… Near the gate of Tannhäuser, things you little people wouldn’t believe.

And I am not joking…

How is the i2p doing?

Last time I checked (several years ago) it was slow, non performing and scarce in results.

And my lack of knowledge didn’t help at all :)

By any chance… Your proxmox is not close to any source of big electromagnetic fields, right?

Close to big Transformator or electric motors, right?

OK, it is clearer now, thanks

If I get it correctly, this is a kind of kasm but only for the local user, right?

Yep, at least for their own internal mistake. I rebooted them a few times in that time because updates and important config updates. Even for power outages (2 iirc) they are resilient, they are set to automatic boot up when the power is back.
