Most self-hosted solutions come as containers, containers are Linux only and on Windows they run under the WSL VM, so eventually (if you are not doing full installs) you are still using Linux

Firstly, I highly suggest radicale + immich and to avoid nextcloud if you don’t need all of it’s features.

You can also use apache as a reverse proxy with either subdomains, path redirection, or different ports:

1. radicale.yourdomain.com
2. yourdomain.com/radicale
3. yourdomain.com:1234

Rtx 3060 12gb has a pretty good value, a bit olde so might not be as good for a long term investment, but currently I think it supports all the modern frameworks

Try Jetbird, it solved the connection issues for me, but drained the battery similarly for me

Currently ditching netbird because the Android implementation kills the battery and it makes it unusable.

I wish they would fix it, it’s been an issue for quite some time

Got woooshed, didn’t see the /s

This is wrong…

Edit: anyway here is the real tree

Explain OP

As long as it’s not critical to you if you lose the domain I would say go for it because you have to remember that with country domains the country has control over it and can always take it away from you.

It’s pretty simple if you don’t own the router you don’t own the Wi-Fi. You can treat your home Wi-Fi a little bit like a public Wi-Fi and just make sure all of your devices are secure using encrypted DNS and encrypted traffic and overall not open on any unsecured ports and you should be fine.

Personally, all of my services on my home server are only available through my WireGuard VPN, so it doesn’t matter what Wi-Fi I’m using, it’s always going to be encrypted peer-to-peer.

Wy would they? It is peer to perr

I like manual updates, keeps me in the loop

The icon looks like a slightly balding hipster dude…

Think of the tail as a beard and the negative space (white part) as his face and the top purple part as his hair.

Awesome project though!

Mine is seeing the “removed” and “started” when I update all my dockers

Always risky to be exposed to the internet. unless you can’t, you should look into using tailscale/netbird to keep everything within a VPN.

Yeah but the dpi on the mouse is crazy high and no one knows how to slow the pointer down

My personal journey:

• arch is annoying to maintain and whil it is mostly stable, you do get some breaking updates here and there. It’s not a bad choice, it just doesn’t makeuch sense for a headless server.
• Ubuntu server, just why? Works fine but why?
• a not headless fedora, worked fine but still annoyed me sometimes
• proxmox (debian based) works great, annoyed me to manage vm resources.
• headless debian. Just works, I rarely if ever encounter OS issues. The only downside is that not everything can be found in the debian repos, but there is almost always an option to add a repo for whatever you want.

My setup is mostly dockers so keep that in mind.

But really, if something works for you go with it. If you are looking to change, I would recommend debian.

My setup is easy and reliable:

Bash script that runs restic to backup to backblaze with a 90 day retention snapshot policy and a systemd service + timer.

It runs everyday, everything is backedup to b2, and I don’t need to bother with it.

Pros:

• easy
• quick
• reliable
• private (restic encrypts before sending)
• don’t need to worry about multiple backups as backblaze does it for me (3-2-1 system)

Cons:

• costs (very little) money (backblaze is basically the cheapest provider)
• long restore time as it would be slow to download
• restore costs (pay per gb downloaded)

Cold storage solutions would be cheapest if you don’t need to access it often, if you do then Backblaze b2.

Lastly you could do your own backup (drives sitting at a friends of family’s place?)
