Would i deploy this on a VM or Bare Metal? Evaluating whether i should try it on my Unraid.

But looks Great!

But whats the difference between having the reverse proxy on a VPS pointing to you homelab via a VPN or having this Reverse Proxy directly attached to a port? Just from „takeover perspektive“ there should be no no difference

i did that partially. I have a bit user subscribed to many communities. Unfortunately that is a fully manual task - currently i don’t have an automated way of doing this

I mitigated the issue by testing my restore procedure:D

I am still not sure if it was an restic or minio problem, but many files were corrupt.

today i am using borg.

So it’s basically like obsidian and trilium?

This is why a backup strategy is only as good as the tested restore procedure!

But i agree - same was for me (years ago) with restic and minio S3.

Since then, i restore a full backup once or twice a year to a second machine to test it

Your Post is driving me to get the pokemon episodes :D

More exciting are the people that host Their firewall/router like OPNSense/PFSense as a VM on their system! 😄

Somehow you are describing an „email“…

Problem with you approach is, that you have an easier maintenance, but your users need an additional tool. Especially when grandparents should use this, you should stick to what is there.

In theory you could host a matrix server and install some bridges like whatsapp, discord, etc. probably you would be able to create a matrix room and invite your granny via the whatsapp integration, your friends via discord, etc.

Disclaimer: I did not set up such solution - this just came to mind for your situation.

This assumes that you have all the new stuff on your server every time? I mean, proposing new stuff without having it makes no sense
