Why are you manually running backups? Script it and run as a cron job

Yes, I use subdomains.

I pay for one domain name in Cloudflare (e.g. awesomedomain.com), and have a single “A” record pointing to the public IP of my server, and a single “CNAME” record with a value of * that points to awesomedomain.com.

That way, any subdomain gets directed to the server, and then you setup Nginx Proxy Manager to listen for certain subdomains and where to proxy them. No need to manage any further DNS records in Cloudflare, and any changes made on the proxy don’t need any wait time for DNS records to propagate.

Nginx Proxy Manager also handles automatic SSL certs through Let’s Encrypt - I really can’t recommend it enough.

Sounds like you don’t have port forwarding setup.

I highly recommend setting up Nginx Proxy Manager and using it as a reverse proxy.

I have lots of services, but using a reverse proxy means I only have to expose 2 ports (80 & 443) and then I can serve whatever I want, like Plex, over https without a relay.

Get any old enterprise workstation (they practically give Dells away for free) and get to know Docker.

Using multiple Pis for single applications is a fool’s errand - my Optiplex was free and it is running ~30 containers with plenty of room to breathe.

ionos.com is $1/month and you can use external domain names. That plan includes the cost of a domain name as well, so you can transfer the external domain over if you really like it.

By default it’s only for the the same account, but you can change it in the download settings to allow transfers to “Steam Friends” or “Anyone”.

A CMS is way overkill for what you need.

I suggest something like Hugo, with plenty of templates available and even the ability to host it out of Github, it’s a pretty good option.

Just to flesh that out a bit… All you need is to add a TXT record to your DNS records:

Name: _dmarc.yourdomain.com

Value: v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100

Using docker on it is also really easy if you do eventually want to step up your game.

My motto is “Debian for servers, Arch for workstations”.

OMV actually removed their portainer implementation, so if you want to run docker you just have to do it like any other distro.

I love how every answer so far is Debian.

Debian is the correct answer.

TrueNAS Scale is based on Debian 😁

And yet, I’m not!

I just switched from Homer to Homarr and have zero regrets. It even has a little docker menu that can control your containers 👍

Yep, I use cloudflare for DNS and just have 2 records configured there:

• A record - example.com points to 192.168.1.100
• CNAME - *.example.com is an alias of example.com

The IP address above being the address of Nginx Proxy Manager, where I configure whatever subdomains I need for my local services.

Awesome! Glad to help you on your self hosting journey 😁

Pretty sure that’s just a legal formality to cover their butts. I’ve personally never heard of anyone having issues with it.

Edit: Also, that can’t be true as the tunnelling is part of the zero-trust tools, which is made for accessing any kind of data.
