Like others, I started with owncloud but when Nextcloud forked I switched within a year. I haven’t looked back and is working without any issues and is performant.
I don’t really care about the enterprise shit since it’s not being shoved in my face 🤷🏼♂️
These are some concerns I’ve had too, but I think there’s progress being made.
Currently, it seems for the account migration/duplication is a self hosted effort but something that I’ve been looking into making a site for.
As for the long term viability of these instances, I would say it’s pretty rare that a bigger instance run by good admins go down frequently. The costs aren’t usually that high and can be managed fairly easily. From what I’ve seen, these instances are usually donation-based “monetization” so if no one donates its on the instance owner to eat the costs. In theory, one could make some sort of membership based instance, but I haven’t seen anything like that. I’ve seen discussions that if an instance was to start running ads that users would leave immediately… and that’s certainly their choice. It just makes it difficult if an instance is growing but does not have any contribution from the community to run the instance.
However, when the instance that people have registered on goes down, yes, they lose their progress, comments, history, etc… there is no way to transfer that to another instance.
Currently, there is only a way to move subscriptions, that I’m aware of.
As for the list of instances… that should be “unique” per instance, because that is the list of instances that are federating with the instance you’re looking at. So usually it’ll show the federating and blocking instances. So as long as at least one account is subscribing to those instances from your instance, it’ll show up there. Larger instances don’t necessarily need to seed their federation, but it’s common for new instances to seed federation and to start getting material out to the rest of the Fediverse.
Man I’m lame.
Used to be {env}-function##
Now it’s {env}-{vlanlocation}-function##
VLAN location such as DMZ, Infra, Jump for jump boxes, IOTSec or IOTInsec, Etc
I seem to be out of the loop in regards to proton controversy and I haven’t found anything outstanding against them…
Can you help me understand what you’re specifically referring to? I’m a proton user… so kinda want to know lol
I wouldn’t say you’re doing it wrong, but a reverse proxy allows you to not only have a specific domain to use and multiple backends, etc… but it also can translate to not needing to have a port open for every single service you run on the backend.
RP’s can certianly be a load balancer, but usually for home lab / selfhosted purposes, we don’t need a load balancer.
I use both WireGuard and OpenVPN to vpn into my home network.
However, it doesn’t matter whether you use a domain or just up… if you get blocked from accessing either / both … you’re screwed. 🤷🏼♂️
You are looking for a disaster recovery plan. I believe you are going down the right path, but it’s something that will take time.
I backup important files to my local NAS or directly store them on the local NAS.
This NAS then backs up to an off site cloud backup provider BackBlaze B2 storage.
Finally, I have a virtual machine that has all the same directories mounted and backs up to a different cloud provider.
It’s not quite 3-2-1… but it works.
I only backup important files. I do not do full system backups for my windows clients. I do technically backup full Linux vms from within Proxmox to my NAS…but that’s because I’m lazy and didn’t write a backup script to back up specific files and such. The idea of being able to pull a full system image quickly from a cloud provider will bite you in the ass.
In theory, when backing up containers, you want to backup the configurations, data, and the databases… but you shouldn’t worry about backing up the container image. That can usually be pulled when necessary. I don’t store any of my docker container data in volumes… I use the folder mapping from host to directory in docker container… so I can just backup directories on the host instead of trying to figure out the best way to backup a randomly named docker volume. This way I know what I’m backing up for sure.
Any questions, just ask!
Somehow, I have never seen this list… and easily over half of those projects I’ve never heard of but could add some great functionality to my home. Thanks for posting it!
I’ll pitch in here… so website dns (porkbun) is configured to point to your home in, great!
2 things need to happen.
Once those are done, in theory, you should be able to access your website outside of your home network using your domain name.
I’ve just started to delve into Wazuh… but I’m super new to vulnerability management on a home lab level. I don’t do it for work so 🤷🏼♂️
Anyways, best suggestion is to keep all your containers, vms, and hosts updated best you can to remediate vulnerabilities that are discovered by others.
Otherwise, Wazuh is a good place to start, but there’s a learning curve for sure.
So you definitely still need a local DNS running. AdGuard Home, PiHole, Technitium, Hell your router probably has a local dns server you can enable and add some entries to it.
But once you setup a dns server, you’ll need to point all network clients to the dns server address so it can start resolving the web address to the ip in question.
I cover most of what services I’m running in my own post looking for assistance recently.
I’m not sure if you ever made your way to following through with this… But the three node system isn’t a bad starting point. However, here’s how I would approach it (similar to how I actually got my start in homelabs and how I do things now)
1 system for your router (looks like you picked a Qotom unit, those are decent), 8-16 gb ram
1 system for proxmox virtualization… run all your services in LXC’s or Virtual machines, as much ram as you can get a get for your system
And 1 system dedicated to storage (truenas or unraid), 32gb ECC ram (personal preference but not necessarily needed even with zfs for home use)
I’d start at https://reddit.com/r/homelab … but since we’re on Lemmy, I’d rather suggest posting on !homelab@geekroom.tech (new, but looking to gain traction)
I’d add it to my proxmox cluster and start getting services setup on it. Plain and simple.
Well… if you don’t need to get rid of the files and continue to have space… then great. No matter what, you are applauded for seeding for when the inevitable lone pirate comes sailing by wanting to loot your booty.
Can confirm, genuinely good service and support at reasonable prices.
Also use Cloudflare as new domain registrar because I use them as DNS as well. I can’t say that I’ve had any problems with them at all.
Thanks mate!
