  • Imo that’s perfectly fine and not idiotic if you have a static IP, no ISP blocked ports / don’t care about using alt ports, and don’t mind people who find your domain knowing your IP.

    I did basically that when I had a fiber line but then I added a local haproxy in front to handle additional subdomains. I feel like people gravitate towards recommending that because it works regardless of the answers to the other questions, even their security tolerance if recommending access only over VPN.

    I have CGNAT now so reverse proxy in the cloud is my only option, but at least I’m free to reconfigure my LAN or uproot everything and plant it on any other LAN and it’ll all be fine.


  • This is 99% my setup, just with a traefik container attached to my wifeguard container.

    Can recommend especially because I can move apartments any time, not care about CGNAT (my current situation which I predicted would be the case), and easily switch to any backup by sticking my boxes on any network with DHCP that can reach the Internet (like a 4G hotspot or a nanobeam pointed at a public wifi down the road) in a pinch without reconfiguring anything.








  • Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there’s scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn’t mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren’t too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn’t want that taking much longer either
