- Comment on Good resources for setting up a domain name to a local Caddy instance 2 weeks ago:
This is the way. Been running (basically) this for years and genuinely keep my eye out for any simpler suggestions, but nothing comes close.
I do it slightly different where I use an external DNS (bunny) and point the A records to the tailscale IP of the server running Caddy.
The benefits are:
- I don’t force the whole house to rely on my local DNS setup.
- Nothing breaks when I change routers and mess up IP mappings (which I was doing a lot, but I finally got some nice unify equipment, so maybe I don’t have to worry about that anymore).
- I don’t “leak my LAN configuration” to public DNS but I don’t care about that anymore.
- I can use Tailscale DNS override if I want just my tailnet devices to go through some private/premium DNS resolver.
- Don’t need to set up subnet routing in Tailscale
The downside is it doesn’t work at all for devices not on Tailscale. Real bummer when, like, I want my smart TV to just be able to find jellyfin on my LAN with the same domain names. But everything else about it is very convenient.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 11 months ago:
Everyone gave good alternatives for where to buy music. As for the pipeline for getting them into your music server, I have Picard running in a container (a couple projects do this, search docker picard) and I have the settings all configured so that when I drop in files to my NAS (though samba or whatever), then I just double click the folder in Picard and hit save and it moves it into my music server’s directories, all properly and nicely tagged (I have the container volumes all set up properly as well)
You can look into beets or wrtag for more automation friendly tagging services.
