Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I’m more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.
If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I’d buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can’t get access to my home lan.
Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.
The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc… but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there’s a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you’re running on your network or in nginx, etc… attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.
But here is exactly what I’ve done:
Now I can just turn on my phone’s VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.
P.s. there’s additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that’s slightly beyond the original ask here.
A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:
You can use the CLI tool to “upload” them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.
Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won’t move or manage the actual files. I’m not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.
There might be other options that I’m not aware of, as I’ve only been using Immich for about a month now.
Edit: link to the CLI documentation: https://immich.app/docs/features/command-line-interface/
Not sure if I entirely understand what you’re asking but here’s my setup that sounds similar-ish that might help.
I’ve got essentially 3 machines
The download machine has a network share to download directly to the NAS in a special /downloads/ folder. Once a download completes Sonarr, etc… move it to it’s correct media folder.
Finally the Jellyfin machine is monitoring the media folders for changes.
I assume you could set up something similar with Plex instead of jellyfin and then store the fully downloaded files on a separate machine with a network drive, so Plex can see it. Essentially the NAS for you would be two machines one (the seedbox) for the partial downloads and a local NAS for the fully downloaded files?
Anyway, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.
What’s your end goal? Are you wanting to contribute to existing repos? Do you need somewhere to host your FOSS projects for others to contribute? Do you just need somewhere to backup your personal projects? Or …?
Reason I ask, is you could look at self hosting, but you would only be able to access your repos at home.
I’m also running Ubuntu as my main machine at home. (I have a Mac and do Android development for my day job).
But at home, I do a lot of website and backend dev.
docker buildxdocker compose up -dUnless you have an account there’s no easy way to get access to the content on the page. Once you have an account there’s technically nothing stopping you from just saving the HTML file to your computer.
Something else you can try though, assuming you don’t have an account, is to just turn off JavaScript. If the site lets you partially load the content and then asks you to create an account to read more, they usually just block the content by having JavaScript add an opaque overlay. With JavaScript disabled, obviously it’s not there to add the overlay and you’re able to keep reading.
That looks like 8.8.8.8 actually responded. The ::1 is ipv6’s localhost which seems odd. As for the wong ipv4 I’m not sure.
I normally see something like requested 8.8.8.8 but 1.2.3.4 responded if the router was forcing traffic to their DNS servers.
You can also specify the DNS server to use when using nslookup like: nslookup www.google.com 1.1.1.1. And you can see if you get and different answers from there. But what you posted doesn’t seem out of the ordinary other than the ::1.
Edit just for shits and giggles also try nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx… is the wrong up from the other side of the world and see what domain it returns.
Another thing that can be happening is that the router or firewall is redirecting all port 53 traffic to their internal DNS servers. (I do the same thing at home to prevent certain devices from ignoring my router’s DNS settings cough Android cough)
One way you can check for this is to run “nslookup some.domain” from a terminal and see where the response comes from.
Cloudflare? Namecheap?
Not sure exactly what features you’re after but the vast majority of them support what you mentioned above.
Ya, I’ve got a few public services out there and I would love for a better way to manage them. But the fewer ports I open the better. I think there’s also portainer edge agent that’s more secure for prod environments, but I’ve yet to look into it much.
Slightly off topic, but are there not security concerns about opening up a portainer instance to the internet? I run portainer for all of my intranet hosted containers but I have reservations about running either the agent or portainer itself on something external to my lan. It seems like an easy attack vector but maybe I’m just overly worried?
You’ll be able to get an initial set of data from federation but you won’t get any data beyond that.
Federation works via “pushes”, but since your instance would be behind a VPN the other instances in the federation wouldn’t be able to see it to push content updates.
Also, @hyper@lemmy.ml, what does your nginx.conf look like? Now that the webpage is loading, the backend might be blocked/not configured properly in nginx, so nginx isn’t properly forwarding requests to the backend.
Are you planning on modifying the lemmy backed or UI? If not I would suggest:
If you can paste your docker-compose file we can more precisely tell you what needs to be changed.
The default config expects that your cloning the entire GitHub repo, for the backend, at least, and tries to compile it from scratch. You can instead just tell docker to use a precompiled image instead.
Lastly YAML is very picky about whitespace so something might be indented incorrectly. So again, if we can see your docker-compose file we might be able to see what’s wrong.
What phone do you have? I just upgraded last night and everything appears to be working like normal. But I did notice that you appear to have a smaller screen size than I do. First I’d try adjusting the display size and see if that helps. You can find that setting (on a pixel) under: Settings -> Display -> Display Size and Text.
You can also try adjusting the accessibility settings and increase or decrease the font size to see if that helps. Which you can find in the same menu above.
Lastly, you might try enabling developer settings and adjusting the smallest width:
Edit: none of these should be final solutions but to help troubleshoot what’s wrong. You can then use what you find with these three options to raise a ticket and hopefully the developers can then narrow down the actual root cause.
