Just SSH. Every public facing piece of software (I.e. a web interface) adds more complexity for misconfiguration or security vulnerabilities.

You can mount you remote filesystem locally and use your local file manager and text editors to manage most tasks. If you use ansible you can make changes to a local configuration and deploy the state to the server without needing to run anything special on the server side. It is especially effective if you also run docker.

And for monitoring I usually just have a tmux with btop running. Which is fine if you don’t need long term time series data, then you might want to look at influxdb/grafana - but even those I would run locally behind a firewall, with the server reporting the data to the database.

When I saw that there was a pihole update to a new major version I got so excited hoping it would finally support DoH or DoT - nope. So disappointed.

Sticking with Adguard then.

No. I never took any money. It’s their money, they are giving it to charity.

We’ll talk. Come to my office. Maybe we’ll get it in writing first.

Make that 100 million. We’ll find the poorest neighborhood with the poorest schools and fund them, hospitals, housing. A new cause of my choosing every week.

You however will get nothing in return.

The only favor you get, is me not blowing the whistle on you. Remember we have it in writing that you tried to bribe me. So long.
