Thank you for your offer, but these are too old for what I want to do with them. Cheers!

Proxmox eats consumer grade SSDs (at least that’s what people are talking about)

Good to know I’m not the only one!

Hej. I need all of that data. And those movies too. But yeah, seems to be the case. Weird, that people buy those drives, when 12tb aren’t that much more expensive. We’ll, but here I am but only because I had an old but okay 4TB drive lying around.

I’d be scared to be ripped off in a lot. Do they show drive stats before sale?

I’ve had great success with used drives so far, mind you I only buy slightly used with lots of remaining warranty… Saved me tons.

There is quite a price difference, at least here in Germany. It easily be double, if not more… I’d love to use SSDs, but can’t afford them right now

I didn’t even think to look at Amazon, but for 12TB, that is an okay to good price. Too bad the 4TB is inappropriately expensive…

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I’ll be on the lookout for official refurbished drives, thanks for your input!

Let me know if you need any help with that. I’m still a beginner, but have used the last few months to learn about cyber security. It can be a daunting subject, but if you get the basics right, you’re probably good. I also hosted without a care for years and was never hacked, but it can/will happen. Here are some pointers!

Get or use a firewall. Iptables, UFW and such are probably good enough. I myself use OPNsense. It can be integrated with Crowdsec, a popular intrusion prevention system. This can be quite a rabbit whole. In the end, you should be able to control who goes where in your network.

Restrict ssh access or don’t allow it at all via internet. Close port 22 and use a VPN, if needed. Don’t allow root access via Ssh, use sudo. Use keys and passphrase login for best security.

Update your stuff regularly. Weekly or bi-weekly, if you can.

Use two factor authentication, where possible. It can be a bit annoying, but improves things dramatically. Long passwords help to, I use random-word-other-word combinations.

If you haven’t, think of a backup strategy. 3 redundant copys on 2 media, one off site.

Cool idea. Just be aware, that there are a lot of shady people out there. I’m not sure I would publicly host services, which rely on tight security (like Vaultwarden). They will come and they will probe your system and it’s security!

You might also want to remove Dockge from Uptime Kuma, no need to broadcast that publicly.

I did, and it was fast. I was a complete noob, so I thought rm -rf /* would delete everything in the current folder. I hit Ctrl + C, but it was too late. Took a few seconds to wipe out the whole system.

Reminds me of that Southpark episode, where all the adults are gone.

“Provider, provider…”

500 is the sweet spot, at least for downloads. I have it and it’s fast enough for all my needs. Upload can be less, although I’d love to have more than the current 50. Good luck with your move!

Thanks, I’ll let you know, once/if I figure it out!

I did what you suggested and reduced (1) the number of running services to a minimum and (2) the networks traefik is a member of to a minmum. It didn’t change a thing. Then I opened a private browser window and saw much faster loading times. Great. I then set everything back and refreshed the private browser window: still fast. Okay. Guess it’s not Traefik after all. The final nail in the coffin for my theory: I uses two traefik instances. Homepage still loads its widgets left to right, top to bottom (the order from the yaml file). The order doesn’t correspond to the instances, it’s more or less random. So I’m assuming the slowdown has something to do with (a) either caching from traefik or (b) the way Homepage handels the API request: http://IP:PORT (fast) or https://subdomain.domain.de. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for your thorough answer, this is very much a topic that needs some reading/watching for me. I’ve checked and I already use all of those headers. So in the end, from a security standpoint, not even having port 80 open would be best. Then, no one could connect unencrypted. I’ll just have to drill into my family to just use HTTPS if they have any problems.

It was interesting to see, how the hole process between browser and server works, thanks for clearing that up for me!

I didn’t even know that you could have a whole dynamic config directory, I just use one file. I’m guessing I can just as well put it there? And the dummy service simply acts as a place holder?

Thank you for your answer. If I do that, can I still connect via HTTP and the browser will then redirect? I don’t think I have a problem with remembering HTTPs, but my family will…

That’s a great idea, I’ll give it a try tomorrow. The weird thing is, the webuis load just fine, at least 90+ of the time is almost instant…
