My firewall, server, NAS and all my services have web GUIs. If I need SSH access all I have to do is enable it via web GUI, do what I need to, disable again.
If push comes to shove, I do have a portable monitor and a keyboard in storage if needed, but have not had the need to use them yet.
Yeah, I guess I’ve never needed to do that. That may change as I’m thinking of moving all my services from UnRaid to ProxMox to leave UnRaid for storage only.
I guess that’ll bring me back here soon enough.
Am I missing something? Why would anyone leave SSH open outside the internal network?
All of my services have SSH disabled unless I need to do something, and then I only do it locally, and disable as soon as I’m done.
Note that I don’t have a VPS anywhere.
Oh, it’s way more than what any dyndns can do.
In this same subject, is there a way to set up pihole as DoT or at least DoH? Full disclosure, I have not done any research on this. The thought just came up while reading this thread.
This is gold. Thank you.
I just have my kids, wife, close friends and in-laws on SimpleX.
Sure, some of them use mainstream stuff as well, but if they want to reach me, that’s their only option.
Matrix is a pretty good choice for self-hosted. The reason I don’t do it is because I’ve become lazy lately.
I stand corrected.
Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .
That didn’t keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?
Tubular is my absolute YT client. Love it.
This is great advice. Thank you.
If by “average” you mean someone with little to no technical background AND not willing to make too much of an effort, it’s still super easy by getting something like a Synology or QNAP NAS.
Indeed. That’s how I populated my NAS with 3 10TB drives and saved around 120 dollars total, and this was 4 years ago.
These are the ones I got: https://a.co/d/8x58jBY
The only extra thing was disabling the 3v pin, and that was it. Been running rock solid all this time.
Just make sure to research what disks are in the external housings you’re planning on getting, as not all drives need to have pins removed/covered.
We’re on the same boat. I keep being told that all I get is “overkill”, but I like to think of it as “future-proffing”, even though I’ll probably upgrade something in my box within 3 months 🤣. Self-delusion my wife calls it. Some people don’t believe in God, I don’t believe in overkill.
Awesome. I am happier every day I’m in Lemmy and out of Reddit. You guys are flat out amazing. Thank you.
So, if I’m running ProxMox off of 2 NVMe drives in RAID, I can just pass through SATA and USB for the UnRaid VM and just NFS my way to happiness, right?
I’m still testing each of my UnRaid containers on ProxMox, and so far they all work fine. With a Ryzen 7 5700G and 64GB ECC RAM, I could give the UnRaid VM just 2 cores and 4GB of RAM, and should be smooth sailing from there, right?
I’ll be studying that link you sent me deeply before I start my adventure here.
I didn’t know this rabbit hole was so deep. Love it!
Thanks so much.
All this info brought me back to the drawing board.
This led me to start searching for new components, as I’m pretty sure that I will want to build a new rig and just probably donate my current box.
Thank you, I really appreciate it. My bank account, not so much 🤣🤣
Is there a channel/group to start on?
