Realistically though, you could still use a VPN and have it be pretty easy for your family members IF you have access to their router console and IF said router supports network wide wireguard or openVPN connections. Having both networks tied in to eachother that way makes it so that nobody ever has to use a VPN client to connect, but still only devices from their network (or yours) will be able to connect.
Realistically this plan dies the moment someone takes their phone outside of the WiFi range. It's fine in theory, but fails miserably in non-techie real life.
Have updated my 3 home servers to it. They're pretty bare, everything running on Docker. Works fine so far. Noticed a lot more sensors turning up on the Grafana dashboard since the update.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has an achievement for a main quest line pacifist run. There is one NPC you have to kill for story reasons which apparently doesn't count towards that achievement.
There is no need to run Traefik if you already have a working reverse proxy. Also, unless your nginx is running on non-standard ports, the ports 80 and 443 should not be available for traefik, which will prevent it from working correctly.
You can narrow it down: attach to the container, this'll give you a life "feed" of all messages the container produces. Then with that running, open your app and see if the container has anything to say about the sync process.
Not for a Synology, but I doubt Hetzner cares where the data comes from. Works well, especially once you got the keys in place. Have stored and restored, it's a simple file storage.
This has little to do with the Fediverse itself and mostly with the people involved. It would be the same on any other platform, so simply switching the software stack or whatever would do exactly zilch.
A fraction of people are going to be assholes. Sad but inevitable.
and is there anything we can do about it?
You can ban the dickheads, but that'll only get you so far.
Let's Encrypt is fully automated and will issue certificates as long as you provide an email address AND have a proper, working config. Don't get stuck on that email "issue", your problems will lie somewhere else.
As always when problems arise: check the log files.
Wait, what? What kind of clown country are you guys running over there?
