Tons. Go look for refurb units from any of the big manufacturers, but I doubt you’ll get them at steal prices. Have a look at the Minisforum larger format models that are more updated and $250-400. They can fit that and more. The MS-01 is a gem.

It’s sad we’ve come to this because nobody can afford an actual home.

Retag and push to a local registry. Lots of options out there for setting one up.

Honestly, you already have the image locally if you’ve pulled it. You don’t really need to run a registry unless you’re dead set on it. You can also flatten and export containers for backup if you really want.

Your uplink capabilities are way different than your actuality. Get the service first, do some measurements, then start planning.

There are tons and tons. This is called “deduplication” or “dedupe”. Just so a quick search and find one that looks good to you.

Came here to say this.

What you’re talking about is a software solution, but the solutions you mention are not standalone software in the way you’re thinking.

Honestly, it sounds like you don’t want a NAS, you just want shared network storage. If that’s the case, make a Fat partition, share it windows, then go configure samba under the Linux side similarly, paying attention to map a user with a matching uid. There will be some wonk happening here and there with file permissions perhaps, but it will work for the most part.

The other options you mentioned are meant to control the entire host, but you may be ready to make that leap yet.

For minimal money, you could also try and get your hands on an older RPi (possibly for free, people just have them laying around), and attach your disks via USB to that, and then you have a basic, but dedicated NAS you can setup the way you like.

Your goal isn’t super clear from the post.

Are you asking how to host an OS on an NFS share?

That’s an IPv6 address forwarding to port 3001.

I don’t think there is anything wildly wrong with it, but it seems like you’re doing all of this at the router, unless you have dedicated switches for each VLAN?

VLAN is not a security feature, it’s a logical separation of IP segments. Maybe I’m missing your intention here, but just setting different IP spaces on VLANs and then bridging them doesn’t help your security, it just complicates your network.

Unless you’re watching the videos directly on the Synology, I don’t see this affecting too much unless you’re strictly relying on transcoding for other devices you’re positive don’t support it. Even then, you could always just default to rendering on the remote device directly which isn’t a huge deal. If you’re using Dolphin, it shouldn’t be an issue. You could always use VLC as well and it shouldn’t be a problem.

Maybe I’m missing something else?

You need a public DNS record that points to your public IP of your server.

Well the services would have to speak the same event or messaging system, whatever it may be. Then you’d just need to bridge the networks of the containers, or have them speak to endpoints in each side.

There is no universal messaging system between all pieces of software though. Maybe figure out what you’re sending to first, then work back from there. There’s nothing blocking you from sending data between two containers in a variety of ways though.

Aren’t you then hosting an SMTP source and relay?

Why is this better than any other service mentioned.

What’s the difference?

Critical…technically no. Shutting down your NAS, putting in a replacement, and waiting for the disk array to come back online is trade-off.

Nothing wrong with building a box. You probably won’t be able to build something in this form factor and features though.

Looking through some of the notes there, some things to consider:

• Win11 is pre installed (probably baked into the price)
• Drive bays are note hot swappable
• It’s Ryzen 7, so definitely not a low power device

The biggest question mark there is kernel driver compatibility if you’re running a Linux distro. I’d check around. There are also other vendors with similar form factors and price that DO have hot swappable drives. Maybe something to consider.

Depends on what you need it for. If it’s just a NAS with a few containers, more than enough. I’ve not heard anything bad about the brand, and I know more than a few people with them.

You could definitely find your questions answered in the docs at the very least. Couldn’t hurt to have a look.

I pointed them right to the problem. Please explain how that isn’t helping?

Then maybe you’re not equipped to be attempting this. It’s basic networking.

If I ask and invite an electrician out to my house and proceed to tell him how I can just do it all myself, I deserve the horrible outcome.

DF.

It’s not about docker. Just read up on networking.

Can you make it work? Yes

Should you make it work? No

It’s going to flakey beyond belief for a number of reasons, and you’ll need some pretty complex routing to make it work how I think you’re describing. I would look at using a clustered setup for your auth instead so you never get locked out due to network issues.

Gotta say, I love the idea behind this project, and it’s great you’re reaching out to this community here. I haven’t run it myself yet, but it looks great, and the feature list is massive.

Couple questions really stopping somebody like myself from setting up an instance though.

1. It’s not “just” a launcher, and it’s not quite a distribution platform. Is this mostly geared towards people playing the same game on multiple machines?

2. It seems like this is setup as a Steam replacement, but only for a DRM-Free games, so why would you (as a creator) suggest I use this instead?

3. This also seems like there’s a world in which this is set to be a decent game hosting platform. Plans?

Thanks for showing up.

BitWarden already has lots of clients. There’s also VaultWarden for the server if you want.

This is being blown a bit out of proportion though. All they are saying is the official SDK may have some non-free components going forward. So what? It’s a private company, they can do what they want. Or the community can just fork it and move forward with a free one if they want, but it’s just not going to be in the official BitWarden clients. Hardly news or a big deal.

Well, apologies for being bluntly critical. I can offer a few constructive tips to help with writing about technical topics:

• Try starting with a simple topic flow: topic -> synopsis/purpose of why you’re writing -> background -> observations -> point<>counterpoint loop to elaborate on purpose -> closing
• Stay away from asserting your point in the title unless you’re showing definitive proof of something
• Find ways to speak to who may find your writing useful towards the beginning. “If you have a similar problem like X…”, “People who use X may find…”, or “Anyone having similar X experience may find…”. Something like that.

Why would you think Nix has any bearing on a production environment?

Anytime you see anyone post something like “THIS Is How You Do The Thing”, it should automatically be ignored. This article is no exception.

The author is making a big deal about a team of 40 people and “millions of customers”…k.

Not sure if anyone is supposed to be impressed by that, but the titular argument here isn’t a position for a small team and product, it’s making the case that “ALL THINGS EVERYWHERE ARE TOO COMPLICATED IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS”, which is just an ignorant position to take.

If this had come with some sort of metrics, tools, or workflow to back up the claim, then it would be worth reading. Nothing like that here. This is just an inexperienced person’s boasting rant with zero elaboration about what actually works for them, why, or suggestions for others facing some sort of similar situation.

There is no content here, just time wasted.

Well if you don’t have a static IP, then your reverse proxy is going to break when your lease changes anyway. Not sure what your intended goal is for access and to what, but this is certainly a more costly and complex setup than needed for whatever it is.

Just use Proton or a similar service. You’re getting the same thing for free or cheap.

You’re asking for a lot of pain. That’s all I can say. Like SIP, SMTP is one of the most attacked services out there. It has to be public, it has to be on specific ports, and it has to be advertised that it’s available. There’s a reason why people don’t mess with it anymore.

It’s not about actually getting it to work, it’s about having it work PROPERLY.

You have multiple routes to the same network right now it sounds like, and you’re almost certainly routing local network traffic over NetBird instead of using local routes. Have you looked at your routing tables?

Okay, so two really big things:

1. You’re confused a bit on how network routing works. If you’re building something that bridges multiple networks (local + VPN + VPS), you need to know about how to route things to different places. You’re dealing with 3 networks at this point.

2. You might be misunderstanding how “zero-trust” and local networking fit together. Right now you have some local machines at least, AND a router. You don’t need all of your local machines to individually bridge a gap to your VPS, you want it the other way around.

If the majority of your machines are local, then make that your hub. Everything else should be a client. Adding all these individual nodes to routes in a mesh network makes absolutely no sense, and will definitely cause routing problems, if not something like ARP poisoning (we can’t see your config).

Just make the remote machine clients to your local network and be done with it.

Plenty of player/recorders cheap out there on eBay and elsewhere. Guess it’s a gamble at this point though.

MONTHLY?? That’s a bit much, don’t you think?

If you’re regenerating certa that fast, I can’t think of anything that’s going to secure AND easy enough to satisfy automating this.

Whatever tool you want to use to secure the contents of the cert from its initial creation, to distribution, is fine enough. If you want super easy, use an SSH/SCP script. If you want something more elegant, think Hashicorp Vault or etcd.

Ansible is probably more effort than it’s worth (plus securing the secrets of the cert), and any other config mgmt tool won’t deal with the distribution portion simply, so I’d skip all of that.
