there are lots of cheap domain registrar options but if you’re looking for a cheap .com I always go for cloudflare, they also offer .org for pretty cheap and many other options as well. The domains other than the common ones are pretty decently priced as well. I migrated all my domains there last year and it’s really simple, integrates with their DNS really well and payment is pretty streamlined.
I assume when you say externally you mean via Tailscale, but without running Tailscale on each container/service?
What I currently do is run Tailscale on a few workstation-type devices, but everything else in my network doesn’t run the Tailscale client (partly because things like printers, outers, etc can’t run the client, and it’s less convenient for things like servers).
Those type of devices can be accessed by running one Tailscale node as a Subnet Router. This device is then able to route traffic to it’s subnet. Currently I use a Raspberry Pi for this.
My Pi also runs PiHole and acts as my DNS server, so it can name resolve local resources, though I don’t think this is required, because Tailscale has its own DNS resolution called Magic DNS. So your Subnet Router should be able to resolve those names anyway (going off memory here, so be sure to check the docs, I may be misremembering how it works since I use the same device for DNS).
You don’t even need Tailscale on a remote device to access your LAN - if you enable the Funnel service, you can provide an inbound encrypted path to specified resources.
That is almost the exact same thing I am doing. I have 2 Pi’s running PiHole in HA and I just made one of them the subnet router to allow this access. Since I will be the only one using this, I don’t care to use Funnel right now, but thanks for showing that to me. I am (obviously) new to using Tailscale, and that looks like a very neat feature.
I’m not expert but for the sake of getting some discussion going:
Don’t open ports on your router to expose services to the open internet.
Use a vpn when torrenting and make sure your torrent client is set to only use the vpn’s network adapter. This way, if your vpn drops out the torrent client can’t reach the internet.
I keep everything local and use Tailscale to access things while I’m away from home.
Usually aluminium or glass. There’s a metallic coating applied to the outside surfaces that stores the data. That layer is very thin though, so most of the material is the substrate.
Personally I rename them to something meaningful and they get merged if there are no other references. PayPal is especially bad for completely meaningless rubbish in the payee field and they tend to be ad-hoc purchases so I don’t fiddle with them much. The category is the most relevant bit for me.
That is a self-made soldering kit box I made when I was in college and had to haul it around a lot. I have actually been meeting to replace it with something more permanent now that I’m a grown up with my own house. I have an air flow soldering rig which doesn’t really have a home, and I could have a much better use of space. I have my brocade ICX6610-24 next to that which I’ve been programming for way too long, and a whole bunch of 3D printer parts on top of that.
That kit box would actually be perfect for my needs as this is a hobby I only visit occasionally or when needed. It would be great to have something I can easily store.
By exposed you basically mean that I can reach them using my browser? I can reach my homeassistant web ui on port 8123 but when I try to forward to that port with the servers IP I get a 400 Bad Request error. I’m not sure if this is caused by nginx being unable to forward or by homeassistant not accepting the connection somehow
Someone below mentioned adding some more IPs to the trusted_proxies list so I tried that as well without result. The IP I used for the reverse-proxy is the IP listed in portainer under the network for the proxy container. Just to reiterate, the container is running on a different device than homeassistant (technically same device but different VM but that shouldn’t make a difference).

My NPM window looks the same as yours. Im not sure mate, I would try disabling firewall just to see is that the problem. Im not expert in that area and nothing else comes to my mind sorry. Im also running everything under one host
If you have any kind of firewall on your network, you might make sure it’s not blocking that port with a rule. Here’s a couple screenshots from my setup in case that helps.
Thanks for the configuration example. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve replied to someone above with screenshots of what my configuration now looks like. The base_url option you use there wasn’t available to me because it apparently has been deprecated and replaced with internal_url and external_url.
I guess what problems are you having? I’ve used steam link before perfectly fine but it’s going to have some loss over the network. Are both computers connected to a gigabit lan? Balder’s gate 3 is a newer game, and while you aren’t on minimum requirements you are on mid tier hardware using proton to run a windows game, so there are a few reasons you may be having problems. Best way to run it down is isolate things and see how they go. Try running game directly on the computer with monitor ect.
I currently DONT have gamestreaming from my Ubuntu Server to the minisforum. I WANT to have it but i don’t know how to properly set it up. I tried several installs of sunshine but it fails everytime on encoders… and the docker support is very manual at the moment.
The performance issues i have on BG3 are running directly on the minisforum thats why i want to run it on the server instead.
So basically my post is asking for help on setting up sunshine on my ubuntu server
Ah I don’t know much about sunshine and your specific setup. But I know docker can be a pain getting access to devices like graphics cards. Maybe try running natively?
I’ve got my GPU running in docker when i wanted to use hw transcoding on my Plex docker. So this is already cleared.
I’ve researched a bit since posting and found that using sunshine directly is not the easiest route to pick here since their docker installation is still in early development and involves a lot of manual config and setup.
If you’re using Sunshine on an nvidia system, you’ll have to patch your nvidia driver to be able to use nvenc and nvfbc without restriction. Check out this repo for more info: github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch
Iirc sunshine still need nvfbc to grab the rendered frames.
Use NVIDIA Frame Buffer Capture to capture direct to GPU memory. This is usually the fastest method for NVIDIA cards. For GeForce cards it will only work with drivers patched with nvidia-patch or nvlax.
I run nodered within Homeassistant in a vm on one of my nucs, I do all of my actual automation in there and homeassistant is just an IO layer for zigbee and bluetooth stuff.
I started out that way, but I’ve moved to doing most of it in HA directly since they massively improves the UI. I still use NR for complicated stuff though. I’ve recently started using Pyscript for modbus integrations too.
The UI is definitely better than it used to be, but nodered can do some more powerful stuff like pulling the html of a devices web ui and parsing data straight from the page when there’s no API to use for example. I used to do that for a solar inverter at my last house.
Now I use it to control my AV switcher that distributes video through the house, it has no native homeassistant integration and only supports things like control4 and RTI so I implemented my own control using their REST API and hooked it all up to buttons and selectors in homeassistant. works great.
Also my home theatre receiver has a homeassistant integration but its terrible, so again, I’ve manually implemented the tcp controls in nodered.
I’ve done something similiar in NR to scrape the CUPS webpage on my desktop and turn on a tasmota plug for the printer when it sees a job waiting in the queue. I wouldn’t even try to do that in HA directly. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an integration somewhere that would do it.
I typically use yeti ramblers with a metal bases on them, though I’ve set ceramic mugs down on them too and they’ve not stuck. might depend on the drink a little?
Works great. It’s my portable gaming box. I use virtualhere usb over ip on the same Pi too so I can use multiple controllers like a wheel or joystick, pass a full bluetooth adapter directly to it for emulators.
In the house, anywhere with wifi. Can run decently down to 10-15mbps at 1080p60.
Remotely, over Tailscale, my home uplink is too slow for anything more than 720p60, but its low latency enough I can play games like Mario RPG and get timed hits correct. Or Clone Hero. Games like rocket league tend to be too fast tho, and video breaks up badly.
so Long as you have fast enough uplink, I think I’d be fine anywhere. Sunshine and moonlight are amazing, I used to use Parsec extensively but now it’s just moonlight and sunshine.
In most games not noticeable. Only game I have trouble with is emulating Wii, playing Mario Galaxy. The pointer on screen lags, but I think that’s more due to the bluetooth adapter compatibility than any latency added by the usb-> ip -> wifi link.
I’m not an FPS player, so can’t speak to sub second latency….but I do racing sims on this, and it has no trouble with controls and force feedback.
