Run stuff you use, if you don’t use it delete

hosting a proxy server is part of self hosting, so I would to that anyway. asking me to pay for that is not going to fly

I dont have a problem with donations, thats different from “you must pay me to use my thing”. As donations is an opt in, I would do that. Paying to host my own content on my own server is taking the piss

I never understood why you would pay to do things that you can do for free

So I have a tinc mesh for my house, VPS and dedicated server. I have started using pangolin for access to things from the internet, I have also used pangolin as a VPN into my networks from my phone

looks like you need to check the config and see if the crawler is setup right

I dont use ufw, Im old and run raw iptables. But network perimeter here is the server perimeter, not the network (e.g. router). But I would apply the same logic to routers, only open ports you need

MaxAuthTries in the deb man page has this: Specifies the maximum number of authentication attempts permitted per connection. That could be both password and key

Just because you know how things work, doesnt mean everyone does. This is a good starting point for new homelabbers, as I see questions about security now and then

I can confirm that the information is relevant to anyone hosting stuff on the internet, yes the site is a mess of style. that shows it has grown over time. I wander if some of it is AI generated and so has its own look

Depends on how you want to access stuff away from home, I have both a tinc mesh VPN and pangolin tunnels.

They serve different purposes, tinc is to get from home to my Dedi and the VPS. Pangolin is to assess stuff away from home.

As I’ve just moved to starlink I to now don’t have a static IP and this has made the move almost transparent

Over kill unless you already run it, but nextcloud can do appointments.

Also Im if your a Google device, your Gmail calendar may also do appointments

as a parent, I dont have time to keep up with the stuff I host for the family as it is.

something like the kids-net would be amazing, but I do wander how much curating it takes to get it all working

Maybe try networking?

The most reliable notification service I have used is pushover, I know it’s not self host. But ROCK sold and for a £5 life time payment and with 10,000 messages per month that’s amazing

I use OVH, have done for a long time. Have a dedicated host with them and my DNS, DNS also has an API to allow getting wild card certificates

But how?

I run nextcloud and have had maybe 2 update fails in the “mumbles” years I have run it, yes it is a monster with resource. So the bigger the box it’s on the better it runs

This is the page I landed on that has how you setup nginx https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/environments/nginx

what the docker compose is, I dont know

Looking at the docs, you need the external server config for Anubis. Then where Anubis will hand back good traffic destined for your application, you did read the docs right?

Have you seen grocy, that I think has something similar?

Oh, that is a question. Will have a look at how DNS works over pangolin

Just tested my pangolin client and can see my home IPs fine, but you will need to make sure your pangolin has private resources setup as well as public
