I had similar requirements and fell upon mesh central. To keep it secure on web I have it hidden behind cloudflare tunnel and an access policy.

Bonus points it even supports mobile devices if you need to help your mum with those too.

Another one I was a fan of was level RMM if you can stay below the 10 device limit it’s completely free - all hosted on their cloud. I have too many children so had to switch from level.

I just sent a ddos attack to his ip. In an unrelated event my doorbell camera has stopped working?

why not both?

+1 for cloudflare tunnels. But if you want to host locally, nginx proxy manager has a very intuitive gui you’ll be able to host your sites on.

Example:

Docker container exposes port 8989 for sonarr. Nginx proxy manager entry will be: Sonarr.mydomain.com > http://192.168.0.50:8888/ There’s a setting to allow ssl for your domain.

In your domain registrar, just put the a record for sonarr.mydomain.com to the local IP of nginx proxy manager, in this case let’s assume it’s the same IP as sonarr.

So now in your house your computer calls the domain, your dns server responds with 192.168.0.50. That’s the IP of your proxy.

Your proxy gets your request. Sees you’re trying to access sonarr, and passes your query along to it.

But like I said, cloudflare tunnels removes ALL of this and even supports google / azure SSO to keep you secure and keep logins convenient.

Saw a video where the electricity grid has a “frequency” - if the power supply is turned off, the inverter detects this frequency change and shuts off.

It’s also why if you touch the plug it won’t shock you.

This also means that in the event of a power cut, the solar will also cut out.

Yes in zero trust > access controls > applications you can specify a web site and then tell it how you want it protected. In its most basic form you can have it email you a login code, but if you link it to either google or Microsoft you can have users of those services use them allowing you to sso straight through.

You can also specify a wildcard *.mydomain.net and then by default anything that is in your domain will be protected. Means when you’re testing something new you won’t forget to lock it down.

You’re correct about media, I use nginx proxy manager for emby, but everything else goes through the tunnels

As for configuring, the cloudflare LLM bot has been trained on all its documentation so it’s one of the few times a chat bot is genuinely useful.

Cloudflare tunnels is a great way to expose services on your network to the web.

You run a program in your server, it makes a tunnel, then you configure it on the website to visit the internal link in your network, eg

If you’re hosting a web server at home, you could have something like:

www.mydomain.net > http://192.168.1.55:8080/

You can also have cloudflare protect access to that website with email verification, google / Microsoft accounts etc.

It’s a lot to learn, but it’s very handy once you get the hang of it.

Here’s a YouTube video on the basics: https://youtu.be/Q5dG8g4-Sx0?is=J7KvNZoyjsEq33fO

You can book a cheap premier inn for about £45 a night in the UK.

Sure it’s still expensive, but the occasional splurge to get a comfortable nights sleep seems more cost effective than buying and running your own air con

https://xkcd.com/979/

So rather than Uber being above the £90k limit collectively. They’re basically allowing each driver to be a contractor who had their own £90k entitlement? Bloody hell that’s not a loophole, that’s a channel tunnel!

I remember talking to a Sony rep who told me 3D TV had to succeed because they’ve invested so much money in it, it’s impossible for it to fail.

Lol

Who does the money go to? I know they’re saying Ukraine, but they need bullets not cash. Do Ukraine then buy the arms from EU? If it’s a loan then does the EU stand to double their money PLUS interest?

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

But he does like fish sticks!

I see Denzel’s got his pilots license back

You can either set a DHCP reservation in your router, or manually set the IP on the device.

When I say private IP, I’m referring to the internal IP e.g 192.168.1.X

Means internally I just go to the domain without having to remember the IP I set.
