Install tailscale on your vps. Install tailscale on your router. Use tailscale option (on your router) to expose subnet to the tailnet, the subnet being whatever you’re trying to reverse proxy.

Replace tailscale with headscale if you’re paranoid, can run headscale on the vps too if you want to. I had this sort of working, my issue i ran into was manually setting up outbound rules for tailscale traffic in pfsense. Manual because the pfsense tailscale plugin didn’t let you specify a headscale server, it only plays with the official tailacale backplane. Installing tailacale on the pfsense command line works and gets around this and your router will show up on your headscale tailnet, but the outbound rules wont automatically be created… so… twas a rabbit hole I didn’t feeling like exploring at the time.

I use ddclient on my vps

If you’re using home assistant there is a “sun” integration.

My lights turn on 30 minutes before sunset and turn off 30 minutes after sunrise.

My wife didn’t want them turning on and off at the same time every day because observers could see the pattern… at least this way it’s a little more hidden.

Edit: Ah it’s not foss though.

I deal with cgnat on my 2 isps at home. Install tailscale on your vps and your router at home and then on your router you can share subnet devices over your tailscale network. Install a reverse proxy on your vps.

If set up correctly you can route a human readable web address (jellyfin.example.com) to your vps static ip address and then to, for example, a docker container with local address 192.168.100.1:8096, via reverse proxy.

I’ve been considering setting up matrix or xmpp, can I ask what is motivating you to switch?

Caddy config (“Caddyfile”) is super easy to configure. In some cases it can be just one line to reverse proxy something. Search for a caddyfile example and you’ll see.

I actually did this instead of tailscale first; installing tailscale on a pfsense router was a challenge, iirc i had to find and install the freebsd tailscale pkg from the command line because the plugin doesn’t give the option to connect to a non-tailscale control plane.

After I did that and connected to my headscale server (on my vps) I could ping pfsense’s local ip over the tailnet, but couldn’t get any traffic out from pfsense. Turns out I had forgotten the pfsense tailscale plugin automatically sets up outbound rules for you.

That was a rabbit hole I didn’t feeling like falling down, so I turned off headscale and just used tailscale account and the normal pfsense tailscale plugin. But it’s there and it does work fine if I ever wanted to go figure out the outbound traffic rules.

Headscale is the tailscale backend server

I have caddy on a vps that serves as a tailscale exit node and also reverse proxies over the tailnet. My pfsense router is also in the tailnet and exposes some subnet ip addresses to the tailnet. So for example I have public domain watch.example.com hits my caddy and gets proxied to internal IP 192.168.31.48 which is my jellyfin docker.

Indeed. I have done so.

Seems like a cool idea but I feel like if you’re buying rack hardware you should be able/willing to buy a metal frame to house your stuff in.

I don’t know too much about snap (I literally haven’t had to touch my immich setup) but as far as I remember when I set it up that was snap’s whole thing - it maintains and updates itself with minimal administrative oversight.

I was in the same spot about 3 years ago and I started with Unraid. Got me into docker and dipping my toes into command line stuff.

Honestly though you’re going to quickly outgrow your old laptops…

I’ve had immich running in a VM as a snap distribution for almost a year now and the experience has been leaps and bounds easier than maintaining my own immich docker container. There have been so many breaking changes over the few years I’ve used it that it was just a headache. This snap version has been 100% hands off “it just works”.

I’m actually behind 3 routers and still hosting stuff to the internet. My house is behind cgnat, I have two isp routers, which both connect to a pfsense router (ip of which is in the dmz of each isp router).

My pfsense router and a free vps hosted at oracle are both connected via tailscale. Pfsense router advertises specific subnet addresses to the tailnet. VPS uses caddy to reverse proxy to those subnet addresses to expose them to the internet.

I was happy with tandoor for a while. Didn’t try any others.

However one problem remains for me; my household is bilingual. Any real recipe manager like this (for me) needs to easily convert ingredients/recipes between two languages.

Anyone know of any solution for this (aside from manually running every recipe output through a translator)?

This looks really cool. Anyone know if there is a way to make something like this ingest a gedcom file and put out a visual like this?

Did you have a mistake in your caddyfile? Or, what led to this? I’m using caddy as well and could be good to know, though I don’t recall seeing that warning.

Here. I’m on docker 3.7. I think it’s correct…
