no worries. Just wanted to warn you in case you didn’t know. :)

I’m in the process of hardening caddy. It’s a work in progress, as I’m new to caddy. I always used Nginx. But I decided to give caddy a try as I saw it recommended a LOT.

*: in my homelab.

I don’t know, but I expect it’s having an issue because i assume the port is forwarded from your router to your caddy, but then the caddy server it redirecting back to the router. I don’t know how you’d get around this. but that might be a starting point for your research.

ETA: Also, it’s a bad idea to expose your consumer grade router to the internet. VERY bad idea.

You have to think about the extra costs, like power use , loudness etc. I have no idea what your server would be like, but it’s something to think about. FWIW, i reused my old desktop (it’s pretty beefy) into a server, but i run a pi now, because it was costing me a fair bit to run in power usage.

on the plus side, when the AI bubble pops, hardware will be soooooo cheap

do NOT open SMB to the internet. You will get crypto’d in minutes. Just a warning for any newbs coming here.

I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searxng, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).

yup. I was using my old desktop as a server. Thankfully though, it has 32GB RAM and a 8 core CPU. I use ras pi as a server now isntead, because it’s far less power hungry.

i wouldn’t. seems fraught with danger

first past the post? that’s an actual thing? that’s crazy :/

I’m not 100% sure. I have an account on aussie.zone, but I logged in recently, and there was no request or anything for anything. So i dunno. i think it’s based on the honour system

aussie.zone

But FWIW, the australian law only applies to the sites they (the government) have explicitly told have to comply. They are marketing it as “all social media”, but it’s only, among others, facebook, tiktok etc.

interestingly, it resolves it. hmm. I don’t know. I tried a few domains after a while of having the custom dns set up, and it resolved all of them.

nah, the pihole is set to every dns available minus google for external addresses.

btw, I have set local connection to true

yup, BW is awesome. and mostly free. I use BW too, but not self hosted.

one thing I’m not willing to self host is vault/bitwarden. My whole life is based in my password manager. I imagine Bitwarden inc has a lot better security than me, and if I lose access to it I’m stuffed.

I hope they die like emby did when they went closed source. No one ever mentions emby anymore. It’s always jellyfin vs plex. When they were open source, emby was a pretty big deal.

You’re gonna have a bad time if you have to email MSFT/GOOG. MSFT was worse in my experience. their DumbScreen tech was horrible. Even the tech couldn’t get my emails to not go to spam. Gave up in the end. The likes of MSFT and Google make it nigh on impossible for people to self host their own email.
