- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 2 days ago:
Honestly the best thing to do is just start trying things and don’t only rely on your own stuff until you have a good understanding.
Just get an old computer and install an os you want to learn, worst case you break it and reinstall.
I suggest proxmox since you can lean on community scripts and can backup and restore any containers pretty easily if needed.
But as with anything don’t go in expecting to be perfect, just get started, break some eggs and learn from mistakes. You will learn what you like about it, what you would change and you can burn it all down and start again if you want as well.

If you use tailscale you could pretty easily get similar results.
Tailscale to broker connections between devices and then access with the tailscale IP address

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
- Comment on Suggestion request: Self-hosted app for shared directories like google drive 6 months ago:
This confuses me a bit, technically nextcloud is just a PHP script that only runs when you actually perform a page request.
If you don’t enable the Cron then it does even less than a normal install.

Depending on what services you want to give access with, I have had great luck with an ultra cheap VPS
lowendbox.com/blog/1-vps-1-usd-vps-per-month/
Then I host my edge services on a container and use an ssh tunnel to the remote host which gives me an ipv4 and any port forward that I want.
For example I have my reverse proxy inside my network and my VPN server then I use a command like:
ssh -R 8080:localhost:80 public.example.com
Which would forward publicip:8080 to localhost:80
Read more here: www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/tunneling-example.
I use autossh to keep the tunnel alive at all times.
This is an ultra cheap way to get any ports you want and self host the whole thing. The remote VPS also doesn’t get any extra access to your local network and doesn’t initiate the connection so it doesn’t have credentials for your local network

If you go with your option A, you could virtualize the windows install and run it inside of the truenas or other os using qemu.
You would still need to have enough drives for a new array, but that was always going to be the situation

Proxmox backup server is my jam, great first party deduplicated incremental backups. You can also spin up more than 1 and sync between them

Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.
In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.

The access to the crawlspace isn’t great so the CrapRack ^tm^ had to be assembled in the crawlspace.

I agree with this, though I think a lot of people don’t differentiate between operating system containers like LXC provides and application containers like docker provides.
