Well I wasn’t trying to, exactly. Just trying to convey that RAID5 is not considered reliable and that I was urging the commenter to ensure they have a backup if that’s what they are going to use. Regardless of how you configure your NAS, you can always lose data by mistake.

Please consider RAID6 or ensure your data is fully backed up. RAID5 falls flat if a drive fails during resilvering the array.

I’m using Dynu for DDNS. They support subdomains as part of their DNS. You can configure nginx to service/route requests to each subdomain differently.

I opted for dynamic dns and reverse proxy. I configured my reverse proxy to use TLS and also to require client certificates, which I install on my devices. You get so much flexibility and added consistency to your application security that I feel it is a must.

That was uncalled for.

I’m a long time redditor and I honestly still don’t know how /r/place works. Do you have to pay to place a pixel?

Correct. Get a 4th drive. You will be thankful one day down the road when you are rebuilding the array and you lose a drive during the rebuild.

Consider moving to RAID-6. Single redundancy is not cool anymore.
