Dude chill, he is trying to provide pirated media service not host Area 51 archives or pacemaker as a service.

There is some great advice in here but I wanted to throw my two cents in by saying bollocks to Hetzner, they get circlejerked far too much. Go with Contabo instead, 4 core 8GB VPS with 100GB SSD is $5 a month right now and has a generous 30TB/month bandwidth allowance.

Great advice all throughout but especially on using LLMs to harden your security. The config it helped me complete for Crowdsec in days would have taken me months otherwise.

Thanks for asking, it took like 6 transforms. I cannot claim to understand them entirely as they are partly vibecoded but the panel works!

Sorry for the spam but I in fact managed to join the two panels together. y-axis is users and x-axis is timeline of what they watched. Grafana unfortunately does not natively support different colour for each series block.

These two are my favourite, first shows active user timeline and second shows active playing timeline (names cut off on mobile). Ideally I would combine them together but have not found a way to do so yet, probably skills issue

Jellyfin exporter has all kind of metrics but the ones that interest me most are active users and media played. I have a nice panel that shows who played what, when and for how long.

That is showing just CPU power draw. I have a minipc that sips 2W idle according to onboard stats but wall meter shows 18W.

Other than the items you mentioned I have dashboards for:

• SSH/SMTP honeypot
• Jellyfin
• Pihole
• Torrents
• Tasmota (smart plugs)

In addition to configuring x-forwaded-for in NPM, you will also need to add 192.168.65.0/24 under Dashboard > Advanced > Networking > Known Proxies

I used to run bare metal monolith container host and it worked pretty well but eventually network configurations started tripping over each other and causing real issues (complicated by me running rootless Podman and wanting to run K3s cluster etc). I wanted to run Proxmox native containers but it turns out they run full root therefore breakout in one container means full host access, so now I run VMs as container hosts.

I picked up programming using “C for Dummies” book at age 13 and absolutely fell in love with developing/tinkering. My school didn’t offer any IT lessons (yes I am old) so I couldn’t wait until I got to a college that offered CS classes. Once I started these classes, I started absolutely hating development, to the point I dropped the course six months in and ferverently avoided anything IT related for the next decade. Eventually I found my way back to it via homelabbing for my own projects through organic need.

The point of my long winded anecdote: a formal education may actually hinder your IT learning more than it helps. The best teacher I found was in fact necessity or passion.
