Thanks for calling those points out! You are 100% correct. I think I take it for granted that at this point, all of this “just works” on my setup :)

The audio should not be affected, as far as I’m aware. I get all my stuff from Usenet

Also check out Tdarr! I convert everything to HEVC using that. Shrinks down some files to literally 50% of their original size

My Raspberry Pi SD card finally died after almost 10 years, and I was hosting Pi-Hole on it. After a year of Pi-Hole I didn’t realize how many things had freaken ads. They pop up everywhere! I really need to get a new SD card :(

Seems like the intro clears some things: https://gamevau.lt/docs/intro It looks like you install the server component on your NAS/server etc and store your game files/binaries/installers there. Then you can download client applications and download from that location to install on your gaming PC or whatever

I know a lot of workplaces/bosses don’t like it, but I’m of the opinion that your time off is your time off. It doesn’t matter if you’re in town or out of town, have the ability to get to work or not, if you have scheduled time off, you shouldn’t have to make any excuses as to why you’re not at work.

And in general :) hopefully that helps. Can you hit the site directly (without caddy etc) after setting up the DNS name in pihole?

If you’re trying to use pihole as a local DNS, you’ll still have to add your application port to the end of the URL if you’re not doing that already. So like if you’ve assigned server.local to your host server in pihole, to get to your app you would have to do http://server.local:1234, where 1234 is your app port number.

Otherwise, I have this all working with a code-server instance behind SWAG reverse proxy and Authelia authentication over the internet, if you need further help with that.

I was looking at that. It does look interesting. I’m installing it now from git, will see how it goes.

very nice, will look into it!

oh thanks! I was looking for this on awesome-selfhosted. I must be blind

My flow is GoodReads (tracking/requesting) -> Readarr (manage downloads) -> Calibre (manage library/metadata) -> Calibre-Web (user friendly browsing/serving) and then I can send to kindle or download or whatever from Caliber-Web. I download from Usenets/Libgen/Openbooks

I did exactly the same! I tried a few different dashboards, and Homepage was the perfect balance between customization and simplicity for me

Ah perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for that explanation. Definitely trying to understand more about security and your explanation just made something click in my brain :)

Just curious, why not a full VM accessed through Guacamole? On the other hand, I have never considered a browser based full desktop experience, so I’ll probably also play around with these suggestions 😂

I’ve been messing around with Linux VMs and have gotten kernel panic a lot lately. Always gives me a chuckle

Wow I hadn’t even thought of custom dashboards for each user. I use Homepage for my internal dashboard, and Homarr for users. It’s got a nice, simple interface with big buttons

Hey man, so I’ve been thinking about this and doing a lot of reading since I read your comment… Question: what makes an SSH tunnel any more secure than an SSL connection through a browser? I only have port 443 opened on my home network for reverse proxy and wouldn’t want to open anything more to the internet. Am I missing something fundamental in terms of security? I would definitely like to understand this more.

So from reading the site, is this an IPV6 end-to-end encrypted p2p network? That’s super interesting, but I’m sure my work firewall would be hardened against any incoming traffic. Will definitely experiment with this though. And I love the name

Yes that’s what someone else said below. I will try that
