Nextcloud data daily, same for the docker configs. Less important/rarely changing data once per week. Automatic sync to NAS and online storage. Irregular and manual sync to an external disk.

7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, “infinite” monthly backups retained (until I clean them up by hand).

I use both, Traefik on my docker host that’s also used for trying out new stacks, and NPM at work for a config that won’t change (ever, probably).

Yes, the NPM web ui is somewhat easier in regard to proxying targets outside Docker.

Going container-only on a Debian base is a very stable environment without filling up your system with leftovers from experimenting with new services.

And yes, Jellyfin runs fine in a container.

If you don’t want to wait, Owncloud Infinite Scale is basically ready right now, and Opencloud is unlikely to be more than a rebranded fork in the beginning anyway. So should be good for testing the principle right now.

monitors

Don’t underestimate the power draw of multiple monitors.

But while you’re at it: simply turn off different devices on the same power strip and check what actually draws how much.

Authelia

Think about implementing this pretty early, if your plan is to use it for your own services ( which I’d assume).

You mean available up/download speeds? In which format did you store your data? Which data fields did you record?

As I have basically all devices connected to my Nextcloud instance, I simply use that. I don’t have any “time-critical” file transfers though.

That sounds like a job for… a spreadsheet.

There are other options available, especially if you just want file sharing. Pydio Cells, Owncloud Infinite Scale, a custom WebDAV setup, etc.

What are your main goals? Do you want all data on all machines, or all files on a central server and only sync what you want?

How did you set up Syncthing on your laptop?

Works well for me, although with Docker. The labeling can be a bit non-intuitive at first, but it’s really solid.

Also, I simply love autodiscovery.

surely if Web Devs tell them to go pound sand, or intentionally break the site when using Google Chrome, and put a message saying, “Go to Firefox / Safari for a better experience”, that will make Google backtrack.

Riiight… User will surely do that instead of simply never visiting your site again.

FreshRSS works well for me, also in combination with Read You on Android.

The request from the other machines go through the firewall and are being redirected, the requests from the NAS are basically trying to connect to localhost, so no redirection here as the requests aren’t leaving the machine.

Wait, you update productions systems without running a staging environment? Or even checking the update notes and your installed apps? Also no backups? What kind of business are you running over there?

If setting up TLS is too much work, better stay with a service. Signal is nice.

It really depends on if you need transcoding or not. If no, it doesn’t matter. If yes, check for integrated GPUs on both models and check that it will work as a transcoder for jellyfin.

Kavita works well for me.

The idea is that the router plugs in to your home internet and the server into the router. Between the two they get the server able to handle incoming requests so that you can host services on the box and address them from the broader Internet.

Why would I need a separate router for that? I’d need to configure the main router anyway.

Which display size? How much storage?
