Seems you can actually use the openwrt router as a non spooling print server if you want.
I wouldn’t recommend it for multi user due to lacking the spool queue but kinda cool:
openwrt.org/docs/…/p910ndprinterserver

1. sounds like it should be enough for your needs and simple to admin too.

These are the easiest to flash thingino on:
github.com/…/Installation:-No-Tool-Methods

Some require actual soldering, some just require you to connect using a usb cable and use a cloning tool. The usb cloning tool is available for both linux and windows:

github.com/themactep/…/Ingenic-USB-Cloner

thingino.com and frigate.video are a good way to setup your own camera system.

Not recommended as it will be a constant maintenance and upgrade cycle to keep it working with Firefox but you can actually setup your own Firefox server stack (not just sync, but profiles and account everything):

I’ve heard a lot of good regarding linkwarden.

The manwha is great fun. Classic super power shounen but with lots of cats!
Looking forward to checking the anime out.

I’d say Element is the one to go for. A list of clients is available here:

Gemma 4 12b unified as a q6 gguf fits with about 24k context inside your vram. koboldcpp+sillytavern works well on the software side.

Congrats! Then you have a guide for an easy reverse proxy right inside your router. :)
Try it out and see if that doesn’t fit you better than the nginx proxy manager.

The main point was that if your mini-pc running the proxy is also behind a windows docker desktop install it too will have incoming connections appear as 192.168.65.1.

A solution then is to switch to a linux docker host where you can get rid of that hidden NAT. There are many webuis for docker such as dockge and portainer on linux without having to use the terminal.

My preffered solution would be to switch to a router/firewall with reverse proxy support such as opnsense with haproxy and skip the nginx proxy manager completely.
Having the proxy configured in the same UI as vlan, port forwarding, nat rules and so on is nice. opnsenselab.com/…/opnsense-haproxy-reverse-proxy/

Long shot but you might’ve solved the nginx x-forwarded header multiple times without seeing it if the nginx proxy is behind the same bridged docker desktop system setup on your minipc then the visitors IP will show as 192.168.65.1 to the nginx proxy too so you forward that same ip to jellyfin even when it works.
An easy check would be to spin up the nginx proxy manager as a vm instead of a docker image and see if it works.

No real solution, but a lot of chatter regarding that:
github.com/NginxProxyManager/…/674

You can always contact techaro.lol and ask if they’re willing to setup a secondary domain for you.

Or you can use others endorsements of the product to give it weight.
"The Linux Foundation uses Anubis to protect git.kernel.org and lore.kernel.org and seem very satisfied with the result.

I imagine Anubis looking like that is because professional settings really should sponsor when using open source.

I think your discord friends are right.

Outbound traffic from the container is sent through Network Address Translation (NAT) using a virtual adapter (typically with an internal IP such as 192.168.65.3). You can view or change this with the Docker Desktop settings.

Traefik merge code written by AI, f.e. github.com/traefik/traefik/pull/13397
As do Caddy, such as github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/7492 and github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/7666

They seem to merge AI code too, from OPs codeberg link: github.com/nginx/nginx/pull/1451

I think pivoting to BSD is the easiest way to find solutions that aren’t tainted by AI.

Completely depends on where you are too, my NAS uses ~30W, which means ~22kWh in 30 days, which translated into local electricity costs are 53SEK or $5.39.
It has enough CPU (Intel Celeron J4125) to run my production loads, RAID1 16TB drives and 18GB RAM so it successfully hosts DNS, DHCP, Jellyfin, Vikunja and network shares. And I get the knowledge that it is all local and under my control.

I haven’t done it myself but Eufy cameras seem to be among the easier ones to flash. :)

Thingino makes sure your cameras are yours and no one elses, they have a list of cameras that work with it:

I recommend that you look into nagios and zabbix before you get started. Both have free selfhosted open source solutions. And both are used professionally on the enterprise level so you even gain a skillset that can earn you money!

Primary and secondary is what it is usually called today. I know both Microsoft and Cloudflare does at least.

Check if you need a flag when starting it to bind 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1

I find setting up an openvpn server with self-signed certificates + username and password login works well. You can even run it on tcp/443 instead of tcp/1194 if you want to make it less likely to be blocked.

Unless you wanna expose services to others my recommendation is always to hide your services behind a vpn connection.

I prefer running true vms too, but it is resource intensive.
Playing with lxcs and docker could allow one to run more services on a little beelink.

A VM is properly isolated and has it’s own OS and kernel. This improves security at the cost of overhead.
If you are starved for hardware resources then running lxcs instead of vms could give you more bang for the buck.

I remember trying both back when my server was new but missing something in dockge, can’t remember what right now.

I wouldn’t use RAID on USB.
If you only got 2x m.2 slots then I would probably prioritize disk space over RAID1 and ensure you got a backup up and running. There are m.2 to sata adapters but your Bee-link doesn’t have a suitable psu for that.

I would start with one VM running portainer and once that is up and running I would recommend learning how to backup and restore the VM. If you have enough disks I would look into ZFS RAID 1 for redundancy.
pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux
Learning the redundancy and backup systems before having too many services active allows you to screw up and redo.
