That SATA port is what you need. You can use that to connect an external eSATA drive enclosure (external jbod).

For a clean install, get a SATA to eSATA adapter - the kind with an expansion slot plate. Something like a STCESATAPLT1LP. Unscrew the eSATA end from the plate, cut a matching hole in the PC case and mount the port to the hole. This is better than going straight from the internal port in my opinion.

It looks like you have a mini-PCIe slot as well, probably intended for WiFi. That may work with an mSATA to SATA adapter to give you a second port. Or it may work with an mSATA SSD. I would test with something cheap or get confirmation it works from other users of this PC before investing in an expensive SSD.

VPN + DDNS is what I do. You may be thinking about the perf hit of putting all your home connections through a VPN. That's not the idea here. For self hosted services you would set up a wireguard "server" at your house. Then you connect your phone back to it to access your services.

With Wireguard it's pretty easy to do a split tunnel, so that the VPN connection is only used for traffic to your home servers. Nothing else is affected, and you have access to your house all the time.

This is better for security than DDNS + open ports, because you only need a single open UDP port. Port scanners won't see that you are hosting services and you wouldn't need to build mitigations for service-specific attacks.

As far as podman, I am migrating to it from a mix of native and docker services. I agree with others that getting things set up with Docker first will be easier. But having podman as an end goal is good. Daemonless and rootless are big benefits. As are being able to manage it as systemd units via quadlets.

Fascinating

LibreNMS hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's very good. It does take some setting up, but its use of SNMP for data collection means that it's easy to collect data from a wide range of network hardware as well. A wide range of alerting is available.

Cca != CCA

The Cca standard relates to the flammability and toxicity of the materials used to jacket the cable. You can read about it here: https://cabling.crxconec.com/en/crx-blog/CRX-Blog-02.html

CCA stands for Copper Clad Aluminum. The actual conductors (each wire) is made from aluminum that has been given a thin coating of copper. This is what you want to avoid since it can be less durable and likely to have more voltage drop for PoE. It's unrelated to the Cca standard.

So assuming you are running this wire for a fixed installation, you should be looking for Cca + solid copper (not stranded). The one you linked to looks good.

Get shielding if it will be run near strong interference sources, and only if the shielding will be grounded.

The WiFi icon with good connection+ exclamation on Android means the connection to the access point is good, but you don't have a path to the internet. I would start by connecting a PC, wired, directly to your router. Make sure that's working. If not, get some specifics on what's failing and troubleshoot.

Then connect to the switch. Repeat. Then connect to an app, repeat.

Mine has a Copy and a Share buttons like lemonmelon's. They both work in Chrome on Android, but only Copy seems to work on Firefox.

Interesting that the score recomputes as others play the day's game. My score improved when I went back to the page.
