  • This isn’t exactly what you asked for but just in case it might interest you; I ordered this Aoostar WTR Pro recently to replace an Odroid that died on me. It has an intel N150 and lets you install whatever OS you want. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • Paperless-ngx - it allows you to upload important documents like receipts, contracts, etc. and uses OCR so you can search them

  • Is there a downside to sticking to iptables over ufw?

    Jump

  • If you know iptables, just stick with that. In my testing, docker containers seem to ignore ufw rules. Supposedly, iptable rules are respected but I haven't learned iptables yet so I can't verify.

  • can I add video files remotely?

    Jump

  • There's a bunch of different ways you could do it depending on where you got the video from. You could set up smb/samba on your server, connect to it via a VPN, and upload the video through a file app on your phone. You could also set up the "arr" stack of software which lets you basically navigate to a website on your phone and when you click download, your server gets a message to download the file.

  • has some basic monitoring on them.

    What monitoring software are you using?

    I feel like the other measures you talked about (backups, condom of network traffic, etc) I'm doing ok on. Its really just the monitoring where I'm stuck. There's so many options

  • I've seen a bunch of people recommend Authelia. Do you mind if I ask why you went with it over other software? I only went with authentik because I found a tutorial on it first

    4. I saw someone else recommend crowdsec. I'll look into it, thanks

    if you use one of those 5$/month VPSes, with a VPN tunnel to your backend services, that adds one layer of “if it’s compromised, they’re not in your house”.

    I've heard this mentioned before but I don't really understand how this works in practice. If the VPS was compromised, couldn't they use the VPN to then connect to my home?

  • Caddy only allows private IP ranges

    Do you mind telling me more about this? How does that work; a VPN?

  • If it were only me using the apps, I'd be using a VPN. Over the years, I've used OpenVPN, Wireguard, and now Tailscale. In my experience, they work like 99% of the time. That last 1% though is weird connection issues; usually when switching between WiFi and cellular (or vice versa) but sometimes it's my server or ISP and I have to turn the VPN off and back on to troubleshoot. During those rare times, my partner will either turn off the VPN and forget to turn it back on or they will forget about the VPN completely and not be able to use their phone. Ideally, I'd like to set something up that doesn't require any potential troubleshooting on their part so I can avoid hearing "why can't we just use Google photos?" or "what's wrong with Google home?" 😓

  • oh, my mistake. tbh, I don't know enough about it but I'm interested. Why set up a TLS cert for AI at home? How is that benefiting you and your setup?

    I've seen some people set up SSL certs for self hosted services and not make them publicly available but I didn't get around to seeing why they were doing it

  • Have also set it up so they get banned on Cloudflare’s side, so before another malicious request ever reaches me.

    How did you end up setting that up?

  • Most definitely does not need a public URL for Assist in HA. Not sure where you read that.

    You're probably right. At one point, I had a subscription to homeassistant cloud a few years back to use a google nest speaker at the time. I was just going off that I guess. I'll do some testing and will probably put it back behind tailscale. thanks for the heads up

    It sounds like you need a VPN to your internal services if you’re concerned about security.

    I'm more so concerned that I set something up incorrectly and would like to be made aware of it in the event someone else noticed

  • I feel weird about having those apps on the internet and basically being blind to threats. I mean yeah, I'm not a target on anyone's list and most IPs visiting the site are bots but I would still like to know what's going on.

    I don't work in tech for a living, this is just a hobby for me so I have limited time to work on this stuff and do research. It's very possible I fucked something up and don't know it. I figured if I at least got an alert that said "hey, your immich server db was dumped and sent to

    <insert IP>

    ", I could at least turn it off

  • If you have access to all devices, why not just use your own self signed certificates to encrypt everything and require the certificate for all connections?

    Sounds like you are describing a VPN. I was using that setup before but small stuff like immich album sharing via a link won't work properly. Also, having to ensure a vpn is on and connected is a little to much to ask of my partner; they would turn it off and forget about it and then ask why their app wasn't working :/

  • I've been playing around with the voice assistant stuff in homeassistant and it seemingly needs a public url to get all the features. I could be wrong about that though?

    I put authentik in front of immich to handle authentication so that I would need need a 2FA code
