Yes I didnt even notice the family photos and docs dont need to be on that same server. Initially I just put them there to act as a local file share. But you are absolutely right, moving them from the public server is the best thing I can do to protect them.
I will look into setting up a second server for the private stuff that is not publicluly accessible
Thanks for the amazing reply and specially for the explanation regarding wireguard.
I didnt know about crowsec and kata containers, both amazing projects, I will definetely look into it and try to set them up.
Just one quick follow up question, when you mention dedicanted service user, do you mean its best to have a sepate user for each service, such as one for nginx, one for adguardhome and so on? Currently all of them run under the same user and I didnt think about this possibility before.
I have a domain with one of the new TLD which I used for my emails.
Most services worked fine with it, but there were a few cases where my email was flagged as fraudulent and I had to call, explain it was legit and provide with another email.
There was one service I registered which explicitly said they oy accept gmail addresses.
Roughly one year ago I acquired a new domain using the .org extension, I am migrating my accounts to this one, and I havent had any problems so far.
So overall my conclusion is that most services are fine with custom emails, a few of them block based on TLD and an even smaller subset will allow only specific providers. Since I am moving alway from big corp, having a widely used TLD that seems to be accepted in most cases is my personal sweet spot.
Have you played around with Grafana? It really is quite simple if you have prometheus already working.
For a home lab environment you dont even need to use prometheus-alertmanager. Grafana can handle alerts as well.
Grafana also has hundreds of pre-made dashboards you can import. Node monitoring is quite straightforward.
Assuming you have prometheus good to go, all you need to do is go to Grafana - Datasources, create a new datasource, point to your prometheus instance.
Then you can import the dashboards you want.
Now you can setup your alerts - you can use SMTP, telegram, slack among others for your notifications.
Definetely a meme at least among my friends and coworkers. Just a friendly banter akin to prefering console vs pc or supporting one sports team rather than the other
I don't really have any issue for what the software is supposed to do. I can access my instance, read and edit, templates and queries work fine.
But overall the user experience is not so good on mobile.
On desktop it is really easy to navigate my notes, specially so because of the great support for keyboard shortcuts.
Now for mobile it doesnt feel too good. Navigation works but the interface is too small - making tapping a bit clunky.
I also find it uncomfortable to use for to do lists - things like groceries lists that I need on the go. Sometimes toggling works fine if touch but sometimes it switches to view mode.
I really dont think any of that is an issue with the software itself. Its just the format I guess? I still use silverbullet and Ive never tried anything as good for organizing work stuff. But I still wish something more "native" for android.
What issues did you have? I have updated recently and didnt notice any problems so far.
Also do you have any suggestion for alternatives? For me personally silverbullet is great for desktop usage, not so much on mobile though.
Nope. It is an android app. The author is probably using some kind of webview to display the data, so html and css are for laying out and styling the components. This is pretty common nowadays
Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.
I don't care for that new cosmetic drive thing. But the changes to respawn system could be interesting. Overwatch really needs to be played as a team and spamming "group up" can only do so much.
I really liked it. It looks very clean and friendly. I can identify the ui elements with a glance.
I know it is not modern and sleek and it doesnt look "gamer" at all, but function wise I think this is great.
Grafana is just the frontend, its a dashboard for your different data sources
Prometheus is the "database", it scrapes data from your endpoints over http
Personally I am fine with nginx configuration, at least when using containers. The syntax is fine and all I need to do is map one file into the container
But I took a look at the automatic cert feature and wow, that is very, very nice. I may give caddy a try for this feature only - it would simplify my current setup.
I am also surprised it allows using HTTPS over port 443 for cert renewal. I didnt even know this was possible, so I was always stuck with DNS challanges.
I have run it in so many different scenarios, both professionally and personally, its crazy. Nginx has never failed me, literally. My homeserver is quite limited but nginx has a very small footprint, it performs beautifully well and it satisfies all my hosting, proxying, redirecting and streaming needs.
It works for modern and legacy applications, custom code, webhosting, supports all the modern features and its configuration is very easy with literal thousandsof examples available online.
Apache probably can do all that but I hate how unintuitive its configuration is to me personally. HAproxy cant do half the stuff nginx does.
As for caddy Ive heard of it but never really used it. What does it offer that nginx doesnt?
That was a great answer, thank you so much!
