I have something like this, in the same case. I have beefier specs b/c I use it as a daily workstation in addition to running all my stuff. * nginx with letsencrypt wildcard so I have lots of subdomains * No tailscale, just pure wireguard between a few family houses and for remote access * Jellyfin for movies and TV, serving to my Samsung TV via the Tizen jellyfin app * Mopidy holding my music collection, serving to…
This is extremely light - not a bad setup, but I mean.. it's like 1% of typical Homelabs.
I'm curious about its power consumption on idle, average use, and peak.
Neat! > Right now, accessing my apps requires typing in the IP address of my machine (or Tailscale address) together with the app’s port number. You might try running Nginx as an application, and configure it as a reverse proxy to the other apps. In your router config you can setup foo.home and bar.home to point to the Nginx IP address. And then the Nginx config tells it to redirect foo.home to IP:8080 and bar.home t…
The author uses Restic + Backblaze B2 storage. I was recently setting up backups for my homebase as well, and went with Restic + BorgBase [0]. Not affiliated, just wanted to share that I think they have a nice service with a straight-forward pricing model. They are the company behind excellent Pikapods [1], which may be interesting to the homelab crowd. [0] https://www.borgbase.com [1] https://www.pikapods.com

>Because all of my services share the same IP address, my password manager has trouble distinguishing which login to use for each one. In Bitwarden they allow you to configure the matching algorithm, and switching from the default to "starts with" is what I do when I find that it is matching the wrong entries. So for this case just make sure that the URL for the service includes the port number and switch all items t…
This is always annoying me with 1Password, before that I just always added subdomains but now I'm usually hosting everything behind Tailscale which makes this problem even worse as the differentiation is only the port.

Then you can access stuff on your tailnet by going to http://service instead of http://ip:port
It works well! Only thing missing now is TLS

> splitting my roles back out again more The fiasco you can cause when you try fix, update, change etc makes this my favourite too. Household life is generally in some form of ‘relax’ mode in evening and at weekends. Having no internet or movies or whatever is poorly tolerated. I wish Apple was even slightly supportive of servers and Linux as the mini is such a wicked little box. I went to it to save power. Just chec…
> The fiasco you can cause when you try fix, update, change etc makes this my favourite too. I think some of the difference between "self-hosted" vs "homelab" is in the answer to the question of "What happens if this breaks end of the day Friday?" An answer of "oh merde of le fan, immediate evening/weekend plans are now hosed" is on the self-hosted end of the spectrum, whereas "eh, I'll poke at it on Sunday when it's…
Docker-compose isn’t a backup, but from a fresh ubuntu server install, it’ll have me back in 20 mins. Backing up the entire VM isn’t too hard either.
I was n a really sweet spot and then ESXi became intolerable. Though in fairness their website was alway pure hell.

Impressive that all that can run on one machine. Mind sharing the specs?

Caddy's configuration is so simple and straightforward, I love it. For sure a more comfortable experience for simple setups
I like Caddy's integration with Cloudflare for handling SSL and when I originally saw the idea it was promoted as an easy way to have SSL for a homely but I don't use real domains for my internal apps and that is required with Cloudflare.

You can still have subdomains with Tailscale. Point them at the tailscale IP address and run a reverse proxy in front of your services
