Caddy is extremely easy to set up for reverse proxies! I have Caddy reverse proxy my headscale server and it’s been a dream. Literally three lines of config per proxy.

Seconding Beszel, it’s dead simple to install, and add systems to. I love the sleek interface, and the ability to send notifications to a slew of services (like ntfy)
- Comment on Help? Caddy reverse proxy 2 weeks ago:
I’ve honestly never tried it, since I have the only node in my home network serve the local subnet. It allowed me to statically assign IPs at home and still use them outside of the house. I suppose there’s nothing stopping you from using the overlay network, especially if you have all devices involved on the Tailscale network, but I didn’t feel like doing that :)
- Comment on Help? Caddy reverse proxy 2 weeks ago:
Something that might help with using Tailscale and reverse proxying: you don’t have to use the IPs given to you through the tailnet if you don’t want to. Something tailnet nodes can do is serve the local subnet theyre connected to, even if you’re running the self hosted version Headscale, which is what I do. This is how I am able to have my phone and one other pc connected through Headscale/Tailscale, but still access everything on my local network.
Im assuming your Jellyfin is on your local network, and you want to connect to it through Tailscale, but still use HTTPS? If that’s the case, you don’t need to do any kind of port forwarding on your router, as everything is funneled through Tailscale anyway.
- Comment on ‘Death to Spotify’: the DIY movement to get artists and fans to quit the music app 5 weeks ago:
If you just want to play music locally without hassles, there are a slew of music apps that can do it for you, my personal favorite is Musicolet.
If you wanna get fancy you could always spin up your own music server with navidrome, and combine that with the android app Symfonium (what i currently do). If you don’t like the idea of always streaming your music, for example if you have bad internet service outside your home, you can temporarily or permanently cache music to your phone.
- Comment on DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature. 2 months ago:
Same! It decided ‘fuck em all’ and just downloaded all my music locally. It took some time to find a decent music player, but ended up with Musicolet, it’s a fantastic local music player. The way I see it, I’ve paid for Spotify for years, so I don’t feel bad about downloading all the music I had on there. Any new music I want I’ll just straight up buy myself.
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 months ago:
This is why Microsoft is making it damn near impossible to set up a new computer without logging into a Microsoft account. Luckily the OOBE trick still works (for now).

Looks like I’ll be using both then lol, thanks for the input!

Oh I didn’t know you could buy music from Qobuz, is it a better system than bandcamp? I’ve never used either so Im at the perfect time to find a good one.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 months ago:
Not that im aware of, sorry. There is a Windows based spotidown software, but no Linux. Spotidown is a web based service normally, so you could definitely use it in Linux. I actually downloaded all my music from it using my phone!
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 months ago:
I do! I go to concerts and buy merch from the artists I listen to, which gives them exponentially more money than the fractions of a penny Spotify gives them. I’ve paid for Spotify long enough to justify downloading the music I had saved, any future music I want I’ll just purchase from Bandcamp or something similar.
- Comment on Spotify to raise prices in September 3 months ago:
When I got tired of Spotify’s shitty practices, I looked into other streaming services that could compare, and honestly I didn’t like any other offerings. So I said fuck it, I’ll just download everything and play it locally.
What made the jump easy was a service called Spotidown, I even paid for the ad free version it was so convenient. You literally copy the spotify link for songs and playlists and it let’s you download it. There’s a couple different services like this, that will make the switch easier.
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 3 months ago:
It’s an S25, and I bought it mysel lol, I don’t to mess it up. My plan is to deal with it for a year, then buy a pixel for cheap and throw Grapheneos on it. If I screw up the pixel I at least have a backup.
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 3 months ago:
Im so glad I finally made the jump to linux. For anyone still on the fence about it, do it. It’s so easy to switch, I’ve been using Kubuntu for a few weeks now and I have had maybe one issue with playing games, and it was solved by changing the Steam compatibility layer version.
When I switched, I installed a fresh (debloated) Windows instance on another SSD just in case. You know how many times I’ve used it? ONCE, and it was only be cause a buddy wanted me to try a game that had anticheat (I think Rocket League). Other than that I’ve had no reason to use it. There’s a decent replacement for just about every Windows software out there, and if I ever come across a need for software I can’t run on Linux, I’ll just use the Windows instance for it. Other than that Microsoft can suck it. They’re not getting any more of my info.
Now if only I didn’t just get a new Android phone, I’d swap over to a de-Googled phone…
