To access things outside of your LAN (for example from your phone while at the grocery store), each service gets a DuckDNS entry. “service.myduckdns.com” or whatever.
Your phone will look for service.myduckdns.com on port 443, because you’ll have https:// certificates and that all happens on port 443.
When that request eventually gets to your router and is trying to penetrate your firewall, you’ll need 443 open and forwarded to your Debian machine.
So yes, you have it right.
Also forward port 80.

That question is a little bit out of the scope of a forum like this. A question like that would better be answered by the nginx documentation. Sometimes the project documentation might have a blurb about nginx configuration specific for that project. For example, Immich.
For the most part, you only have to reference the nginx documentation. I’ve never looked at the Immich config above until now, and my Immich server works great.
I’ve had a reverse proxy for years, but the config files are very foreign to me because I use Nginx-Proxy-Manager. NPM makes nginx usable for dummies like me, at the expense of gaining a deeper understanding of how it works. I’m ok with that, but you might feel differently.

This photo is taken out of context, though. I mean, he slapped his chest before the salute, and he did it twice in a row… Ah shit nevermind, he’s a Nazi.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Nope. If it was something that I’d need to refer to later I might go the photo route, but since it’s all temporary reference I just toss it in the trash.

I do for my job, where I need to quickly jot down important information. The info I jot down is temporary in nature, and after a particular “job” (I might have a few jobs in a day), the info is useless.
Paper and pen is great because it’s fast, custom, doesn’t take up screen space, and you don’t have to click buttons to throw it away.
- Comment on Is there any community for Linux for noobs ? 2 weeks ago:
It’s run by the main developers of Lemmy, and they’re both authoritarian communists (which I just got from Wikipedia as I’m trying not to use the pejoritve “tankie”).
Anything that could be perceived as speaking down towards Russia, China, maybe even North Korea, end up with your comment getting deleted and your account banned for a period of time.
They started Lemmy because @dessalines got banned from Reddit. The backwards thinking is that people shouldn’t be banned for speaking their minds, yet their instance is the absolute worst for that.
By avoiding .ml you are helping Lemmy be what it should be – a decentralized, user owned, user moderated place with sensible decisions behind the scenes.

!linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev have my support since I boycott .ml whenever possible.

I just discovered (thanks to this site) that you can click the uBlock Origin icon, then “enter element zapper mode” (the lightning bolt). It just gets rid of whatever you want to disappear.
- Comment on Toilet seat detects atrial fibrillation 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if it started as a joke.
“Where can you force people to sit still for long enough to detect an afib?”
“The toilet!”
- Comment on Toilet seat detects atrial fibrillation 5 weeks ago:
uBlock Origin, to be specific. I don’t know if it’s still a thing, but uBlock used to be not good in comparison to uBlock Origin.

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.
RB5009 is better but more expensive. There’s a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.
I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There’s a learning curve, but it’s worth it if you’re a nerd.

They can be charged below 0*C, too. No need to redirect lots of current to heating the batteries during charging like with Lithium.

- Comment on wanderer v0.15.1 - 1 month ago:
I finally figured out how to get the terrain stuff going on my Wanderer. Super cool!
Now I’m trying to figure out my future workflow… can you shed some light on it?
Currently everything I upload is its own “Trail”. This goes for the Strava integration, as well as me just uploading a GPS track.
Trails are nice because they all show up on the Map, making a cool overview of everything I’ve done. Obviously over time this might bog down the system when viewing the map.
Trails aren’t included in the statistics, which is a bummer.
So, I played around with moving each of my activities into broader “trails”, based on where the activity took place. I think that’s probably how Wanderer is supposed to be used, because when I move activities from being a “Trail” to being a “Summit”, they are counted in the statistics.
The only downside to that is they don’t appear on the map, unless you click the specific Summit.
So, basically, my question is – should I just accept the fact that I should move everything into being a Summit, so I can enjoy the statistics?
Thanks!

The Google account is still there, I’ve just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you’ve created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn’t even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.
As far as DAVx^5^, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!..
I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It’s pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx^5^ documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there’s a change.

In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It’s functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.
For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.
Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx^5^ has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren’t shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.
Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.
