You wouldn’t be so desperately trying to convince us that you don’t care if you weren’t an insecure little bitch that cares about it.

Do you need to serve an actual public like a website does? If not then you shouldn’t be exposing any fucking services except for wireguard for you and your handful of users.

As long as you’re not relying on RAID as your backup. Don’t know why so many people struggle with understanding, RAID is not a backup. It’s a solution to ensure uptime in the face of a lost disk. I would guess most selfhosters shouldn’t be concerned with uptime. Use Borg or restic. Or if you are going to use zfs or btrfs then have a completely separate drive or pool where snapshots are stored.

UnRAID is ass.

I use healthchecks for all my scripts and making sure my docker containers and services are up. If anything goes down or errors then I get sent a telegram message immediately.

These fools are ridiculous. Ignorance.

You obviously don’t know your way around a terminal at all… I guarantee I can do anything faster in terminal than you can in a GUI. Especially for repeatable tasks like restarting a container.

Wtf at y’all talking about, it’s usually way faster to do these things in terminal. I guarantee I can restart a docker container faster with a terminal then you can with a browser.

Alt+enter brings up a terminal, then I type literally “ssh server” and I’m ssh’d into the box. ‘sudo docker restart containername’ and the password and I’m done before Firefox even loads for your dumbass and I didn’t even have to lift my hands from the keyboard. And for common and repeatable tasks there are these things called aliases and the ability to chain commands. I can condense all of that to a single command. Lmao. GUI plebs are so annoying with their ignorance

That’s why you you bind mount all the important data and back it up with a proper backup solution like borg. And why you also have a monitoring and notification system that alerts you if a service goes down. I will get a telegram message within 15 minutes of a service going down.

mxlinux is my goto, and if you need something current there us always flatpak for most popular apps

mxlinux, manjaro, and openmediavault

It’s their insecurities dripping through because they deem themselves power users and learn that they don’t actually know shit so they usually very ignorantly and incorrectly put it down. It’s a hard pill to swallow when they realize they are just LTT gamer bro Windows users that struggle to use something my grandma runs.

Might want to avoid semi-trucks and AC/DC for a minute.

No one should recommend plex any longer.

I went tplink omada router, switches, and aps, very happy.

You don’t need a db backup app… bind mount the data to a location then just stop the container and have borg take the backups. You can do this with all your containers.

/docker/postgres

/docker/postgres/data

/docker/postgres/compose.yml

And do that with every container. Easy as fuck to backup and restore them.

Wireguard.

Unless you actually have a need for the public to access the services then you shouldn’t be exposing them. If it’s just you and a few household members that need access then you should be using ddns and wireguard, or similar.

My phone auto connects with wireguard as soon as I leave my home ssid, so I never lose access to my services.
