Meta needs to be cancelled from existence.
- Comment on Cloudflare Alternative 8 months ago:
I have tried to connect to Tailscale multiple times; it goes smoothly through all steps, but the IP addresses it gives you don’t work for me: This site can’t be reached
I was mainly interested in headscale but that didn’t work either; I even tried their docker.yml
- Comment on Cloudflare Alternative 8 months ago:
Thanks everyone for your help.
I have fixed it by not using the npm proxy manager and only Cloudflare tunnels.
This video helped me
The only issue this method has is the upload limit of 100mb
I’m using services such as:
- Immich
- Nextcloud
- Jellyfin
- Valutwarden

Changing to a new plan, so they had to replace the router. Also, I did reopen ports 80 and 443, and I tested them. They’re working. What I noticed was Cloudflare changing the
A IP address to proxied (before it was the private server IP address, I got error 522 back then. I followed the tutorial again but got 521 error).

Thank you, will check it out.

Thank you for the info. I thought I was going to have a lot of data, but I don’t; that including media, which, as you said, can be reacquired with no need to backup, saves a lot of storage space. I have approximately What do you use for local backup? I’m also looking at cloud storage for offsite backup.
- Comment on Useful apps to self-host 11 months ago:
I’m 50/50 regarding tailscale; from what I heard, it’s not full open source.
- Comment on Useful apps to self-host 11 months ago:
For accessing files from your smartphones, I know there’s Nextcloud; what other foss file management tools are available, especially on the phones?
- Comment on Useful apps to self-host 11 months ago:
Custom build NAS
- Comment on Useful apps to self-host 11 months ago:
Will need to research it as I’m not aware of it. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, privacy-wise, what do you guys use to keep your home server anonymous/hidden and protected? Is VPN enough?

- Comment on What is the most efficient method to set up a home server? 11 months ago:
You are correct. After speaking to a friend, I have decided to build a new NAS. For less than £200, I can quickly build a decent PC.
- Comment on What is the most efficient method to set up a home server? 11 months ago:
After fighting my old PC the whole day. 😂 I have concluded that not to go with pc. I’m looking at NAS Synology and FreedomBox Pioneer Edition, etc.

Those are my old PC specs:
GPU: GeForce GT 240 DDR3 1GB CPU: unknown Motherboard: Lenovo is6xm PSU: Dell L240AS-00 240W RAM: 2x 2GB Storage: 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD
I want to build a low power consumption yet power enough server to run any apps, etc. What upgrades would be the best for my use case?
- Comment on What is the most efficient method to set up a home server? 11 months ago:
Thank you for the info. I wasn’t aware of the 3-2-1 backup rule until now.
- Comment on What is the most efficient method to set up a home server? 11 months ago:
Sorry for the lack of clarification. I’m mainly into backing up personal and device data and the ability to add media through Plex. I’m also exploring the idea of self-hosting Bitwarden for password management, allowing access to data from anywhere through the internet. Although both Raspberry Pi and NAS are options, privacy concerns lead me to favour Raspberry Pi over NAS.

- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 11 months ago:
That’s another issue; I tend to torrent here and there, so port forwarding is a big deal.
That makes sense. I’ve been thinking about self-hosting storage for a while now. I’m not sure how secure NAS is with their software.
- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 11 months ago:
Thanks for this, I will look into it.
- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 11 months ago:
I mostly use Proton Mail, pass and VPN with free SimpleLogin Unlimited, which is a plus; however, the VPN is not as good as advertised. I’m considering moving to you are Mullvad (buying the Mullvad plan from Amazon). That way, you’re not forced to share your credentials.
As for cloud storage, I use Filen - lifetime 180GB (thinking of self-host using NAS or Raspberry Pie; however, I’ve never done it before, so it’s tough for me).
- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 11 months ago:
I have tried KeepassX. However, I had some file conflict issues and stopped using it. Regarding the password manager, my reason is similar to what you have said, but instead, I moved to proton pass from Bitwarden.
- Comment on Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing? 11 months ago:
I’m also using Bitwarden; however, the UI is a big deal for me because me being a visual person. I still use it here and there.
I’ve heard they will have a visual overhaul soon; looking forward to it + thinking of self-hosting it. Even though I’m fairly new to “self hosting” any beginner self hosting tips and tricks would be appreciated.
