How to confirm home server security in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Frankly these are useless. SSH is secure by default and will never support algorithms that could be possibly broken. Same for TLS 1.3

Docker bypassing ufw is very bad

forwarding port 22 safe? in c/[email protected]

If you disable password authentication, and use public key authentication, yes.

Question: Instead of Nextcloud, why not use a FTPS server with an nice client? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

The reason for downvotes is comparing apple and oranges, and also throwing FTP in the mix!

Let’s consider SFTP and nextcloud. SFTP is a secure respected protocol for file transfer. If you use key authentication and disable the password authentication, it approaches to be bulletproof security wise. SSH has rarely had a vulnerability that would allow attackers in. It’s even have post quantum cryptography. It’s rather easy to set up. But it doesn’t do more than file transfer. It also doesn’t have a lot of GUI apps.

Nextcloud is like Dropbox. You can find A LOT of things in it (though frankly the quality of most of them may be low). File transfer is just one of the things that it does. It uses https, why? Because the web technologies and developers have focused on this versatile protocol in the past decades. You access internet through port 443 not 22!

If I want to backup data or transfer files, I use SFTP. Over the internet, I trust SFTP not nextcloud. For other things, I use other tools such as Synchting, nextcloud etc. Synchting allows syncing over SSH.

NAS HDD Recommendations in c/[email protected]

Seagate drives. Exos if your NAS is in a basement, or regular ironwolfs otherwise.

Most efficient and economic way to store about 20 TB of data in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Instead of high quality expensive drives, consider more of the medium quality drives with more copies. And HDDs are much cheaper than SSDs at high capacities.

Those data centers need drives that are accessed 24/7 by many users simultaneously. They have perfect operating conditions such as temperature, don’t care as much about noise, etc. That’s not your case.

Consumers need consumer NAS drives, not enterprise drives.

Synology DS1522+ vs QNAP TS-435XeU-4G in c/[email protected]

Synology software and applications are way better

And CPU that is old and power consuming!

VM redundancy (alien.top)
 

I had proxmox with unattended updates in VMs, but VMs sometimes hangstop booting, encounter DNS issues, etc. That’s not something that I can rely on!

I want to run a vm and make sure the service in it is always available. The users should always have access to the service through Cloudflare tunnels. The bare metal installation works for a long time, but not VM installation. I can tolerate a 30 minutes fix once year, but it won’t work telling users sorry there is a problem this week with my server!!!

How to set up this VM?

So far, the solutions that I found are, set up automatic ZFS snapshots every 15 minutes, and set up another proxmox server with proxmox backup server, ready to boot from backup.

Well my Synology DS92+ will be here on Saturday so now I need to get some HDD’s in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Mechanical hard drive storage has gotten really cheap. Just get Seagate ironwolfs now (or Exos if you don’t care about noise).

Is it 923+ or 920+?

Wireguard is what you want!

The 3-2-1 rule in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The 2 in this rule isn’t clear: 2 different media?

Why is it important if it’s DVD & HDD or SSD & HDD?

Secure authentication in front of a web server open to internet (alien.top)
 

I would like to open an instance of a web server such as nextcloud, synology, etc to the internet. VPN is not possible since recipients are not a prior known. Reverse proxy seems like a good option.

Cloudflare tunnels provide a layer of authentication in front of the web server. But I don’t want Cloudflare having access to my traffic and don’t know a way to add a layer of encryption to keep Cloudflare out of traffic.

I know authelia, but haven’t worked with it.

What are the options?

Caddy seems to good to be true? I just set it up and it works perfect, straight out of the box in c/[email protected]

How do you compare Caddy with nginx proxy manager?

How to download and catalogue all emails from and to someone? (alien.top)
 

On Linux , is there a software to filter, download and catalogue all emails from and to someone?

It would be something like an inbox in Thunderbird, with only one email address. The search brings To or From, also doesn’t store them in a separate folder.

Can't run a Plex docker-compose file correctly (alien.top)
 

I don't seem to be able to run the linuxserver Plex docker container correctly. The docker compose file is simple and copied below. The user PUID and group PGID are obtained from /etc/passwd entries or "id -u". The user with PUID and PGID has full permission to /myconfig and /mymovies in the host. I tried various different users, some with admin privileges.

The container runs, but in the PLEX account I don't see any option to find local media. There is a bunch of annoying TV and movie and streaming advertisements/promotions.

What am I doing wrong?

​

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=  1026
      - PGID= 100 
      - VERSION=docker
     volumes:
      - /myconfig:/config
      - /mymovies:/movies
    restart: unless-stopped
