Have I went overboard? Any suggestions? Or help? I travel a lot and don’t have a lot of time when I am home to setup and configure.
I’m using Cloudron on Linode for some things because I have StarLink and haven’t figured out how to connect via internet to my LAN yet. I can use VPN with the router but it seems wonky.
2 NAS
2 Raspberry Pi’s with DNS servers
Raspberry Pi with HomeAssistant
Separate NVR for cameras
Several Docker containers on one of NAS
A Raspberry Pi with DietPi. a 1TB attached drive and Docker Containers.
For VPN, PiVPN is super easy to setup and use. I dont even have a static IP with my ISP but it works like a charm with DynDNS, I use no-ip but there are plenty of options.
I had UrBackup running for 6 months+. It wasn’t reliably backing things up, configuring it to be accessible via Internet is almost impossible, adding clienta is a hassle and the config isn’t very user friendly.
Furthermore I got the inpression, that it’s backups aren’t reliable; restoring files without UrBackup might be impossible.
That’s why I’m now back at a incremental rsync backup script. It’s reliable, you can just restore things by copying them back via ssh and it uses a lot less space (!!!) than the UrBackup backups.

Sure looks like the bare essentials to me.

You’ve gone overboard when you’ve had experience with most of the software on the awesome self hosting lists
What’s that interface?

Looks cool dude. Have you tried using Traefik on docker? You can name your service like https:// homeassistant.thanatos instead of 192 .168.1.1:8080.
It’s pretty cool and it can even handle SSL certs.
Would love an up-to-date tutorial on how to do this without a domain name. I don’t own one but would still much prefer to use https://jellyfin.myserver.home than http://192.168.1.200:8096.
I’ll have to check this out. Any suggestions on where to start? Would this also solve the issue of some containers requiring ssl and domain?
I followed this guy’s tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liV3c9m_OX8
You do need your own domain name but I got one on namecheap for like $15 per year. It’s worth it.
You can go so much cheaper than that as well, I’ve had .xyz and .party domains for less than $2 per year with namecheap

I actually went and messed with openvpn again and got it working great with the router.

not familiar with rsync, got a copy or link for that script?
I used this one, with some modifications, like command line parameters to reuse it for different backup jobs.
I’ve packaged it into a little docker container that runs crond and runs the script every day for a few backup pairs.
I’m not sure if you expected to post a script or link and it didn’t work or if it’s error on my part.
Weird! It was late. This is what I use: https://blog.zazu.berlin/software/a-almost-perfect-rsync-over-ssh-backup-script.html
Overboard? If anything, you haven’t gone far enough
