- Comment on Anybody here does mTLS? 1 hour ago:
It’s a good option if you can’t do anything better, like a VPN. Because there is always the risk of an authentication bypass vulnerability. The less attack surface, the better.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 1 hour ago:
That’s low utilization. If your ram was fully used and stuff was being frequently stopped, that’s when I would be concerned (and when you would experience wear on your SSD).
Right now you have less than a quarter used, and a couple things the kernel decided to swap out. Perfectly normal.
- Comment on I measured the idle RAM of 19 self-hosted apps on identical hardware so you can size a VPS without guessing 4 days ago:
You should simulate a number of repos and users to produce a realistic estimate. I would find that extremely useful, as would some of my colleagues at work. You should be able to scale up to a few hundred of each without too much trouble, and there will be no risk to running into any limits. I’m looking forward to this!
- Comment on The great silence or why haven’t we found any aliens yet? 5 days ago:
We are almost certainly an outlier.
- Comment on Sourcing replacement rack ears for UPS? 5 days ago:
Fifty pounds??? Yeah that’s not going to work with just front rack ears, even if the batteries were all the way to the front.
- Comment on OPNSense Reverse Proxies and Giving Internal Services Domain Names? 5 days ago:
If it’s all internal (and you haven’t set up any extra firewall zones or rules) then you won’t need any firewall rules to allow it.
You should probably be able to just ping immich.homelab.internal right now, and make an http request and get something back too. Even if it’s an http error, that still means you’re talking to an http server successfully.
I haven’t used opnsense in years, and I’ve never used caddy, so I don’t know if the config is right, but it looks reasonable and the concepts are the same as what I’m used to.
- Comment on Sourcing replacement rack ears for UPS? 5 days ago:
Measure the screw holes and check them against other ears. They might be a fairly common pattern.
Also make sure that the ears will properly support the weight of the UPS. Lead-acid batteries are hefty. I can’t tell from a quick search how it’s supposed to be set up. It might need ears front and back. Or, you might find full rails.
If all else fails, get a rack shelf and just let it sit on it. Or get some scrap wood and/or steel and fabricate something.
- Comment on Anyone know a good Selfhosted yt-dlp manager? 6 days ago:
Can’t get any simpler than the terminal, can you? I just paste links into the terminal after a yt-dlp command.
- Comment on OPNSense Reverse Proxies and Giving Internal Services Domain Names? 1 week ago:
You don’t need an external domain. Use .internal as your tld and you can use whatever domain your want. jellyfin.homelab.internal, for example.
I own a domain and run my internal stuff under internal records. Part of the reason for doing it this way is I can use the DNS challenge for issuing LE certs to the internal services automatically.
And no a reverse proxy will not expose anything to the Internet, unless you also open the port in your firewall (and forward it in NAT if it’s on the lan and you use NAT).
- Comment on Issues setting my first Home lab as a total total beginner (no programming, coding, etc. related knowledge) 1 week ago:
Check the Netbird relay setting and try toggling it. I recall some people mentioning it defaults to something that can cause slow connections.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
It sounds to me like you just have a higher risk tolerance, and if you accept that, that’s okay.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
You are welcome to expose it at your own risk. Assess you own tolerance for compromise (personal data compromise, becoming part of a botnet, becoming a host for spam or CSAM) and proceed accordingly.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
Sure, any project designed to be exposed to the Internet. Web servers would be the most obvious.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
That first page says exposing it to the Internet is “not recommended”. Putting a reverse proxy in front of it does not meaningfully change the security posture. A malicious request to
http://jellyfin.homelab.com/exploitable-pagewill be sent to jellyfin in effectively the same way, whether through a reverse proxy or not. You would need a WAF set up specifically to look for relevant exploit attempts.github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415
Those are some outstanding known vulnerabilities, most of them unfixed. They are not particularly severe, but it shows that thorough security is not a priority for the jellyfin devs.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
There is no safe manner of exposing jellyfin.
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
Or run an internal CA
- Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly 1 week ago:
You will.
Anything you expose should be designed for it (e.g. not jellyfin). You should have a WAF configured for the type of service you’re hosting. You can’t just drop one and have it magically protect you, they take configuration. Same with fail2ban.
And you should have these services in a DMZ, so that a compromise in one doesn’t provide an entry point to other resources on your network.

I would open an issue asking for documentation.

Yikes. If there’s no mainline support you’ll be stuck on whatever version the vendor gives you.
- Comment on Can the M.2 slot in my Dell Optiplex 3070 micro be used for ethernet? I don’t 2 weeks ago:
No, if everything supports it, you can can get full gigabit line rate in both directions at the same time.
- Comment on Can the M.2 slot in my Dell Optiplex 3070 micro be used for ethernet? I don’t 2 weeks ago:
You don’t strictly need a managed switch, but I would recommend it for security.
But where are you getting half duplex from? I’ve never seen anything support half duplex gigabit Ethernet. A router on a stick is as fast as your adapter chipset can push packets.
- Comment on Can the M.2 slot in my Dell Optiplex 3070 micro be used for ethernet? I don’t 2 weeks ago:
I would recommend this over the M.2 adapter. USB3 goes up to 5 gbps, so gigabit Ethernet should be no problem. Just get an an adapter from any actual brand, even if it’s just tp-link. No junk non-brand ones because they’ll be unreliable or not work at all due to a bad chipset.

- Comment on Please weigh in: Transfer of Docker stacks to Debian 2 weeks ago:
I don’t see it, but I do see plenty of criticism of the use of claude.
I searched issues for “compare-dest”, which seems to be the part they were complaining about being broken, and I didn’t see any issues that looked relevant. I also looked through the commit log between 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 for anything mentioning that option and didn’t see anything there either. So right now it just looks like fearmongering to me.
- Comment on Please weigh in: Transfer of Docker stacks to Debian 2 weeks ago:
Fuck’s sake. What was the actual bug introduced? I skimmed the issues on GitHub and nothing jumped out at me.
- Comment on Please weigh in: Transfer of Docker stacks to Debian 2 weeks ago:
This. Docker compose down, schlep the data over, update paths and permissions, docker compose up. Done.
Probably bring it up one step at a time so you can more easily identify anything you missed.
