PlexSheep, in 13 Feet Ladder

So ist this an http proxy? I don’t quite get it.

Docker is a moderately sized step beyond VM.

I might recommend setting up VMs with something easy like VirtuaBox. When you have that figured out move on to Docker.

If your a casual user VMs are likely sufficient.

ShortN0te, in Anyone tried this 4x 10gbe + 5x 2.5gbe router?

I run a Qotom model with 5 2.5 Gb. Works with OPNsense out of the box and had no problems so far.

I haven’t tried this one, but be cautious. 10g gets HOT. anything that’s passively cooled id be suspicious about.

Crack0n7uesday, in I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

Networking will take you from being “they guy that fixes computers” to full blown Telco engineer. It’s a lot though, more than I can explain. Get managed switch and start having LAN parties.

Specks lookg good, Intel NIC, semi decent CPU. I would say it is even overspec for a router.

I’m not super familiar with docker so im sorry im not much help there but i noticed that you mentioned a ATnT router. Are you using them as an Internet provider?

If so, you might have a carrier grade nat which makes reverse proxy like this not possible even if you do get caddy server working. I had a similar situation with my jellyfin server.

I had caddy server working but when i moved and started using a mobile internet provider, i had to use a vpn tunnel like cloudflare or zerotier to get around it.

All this to say, id recommend finding that out so if that is the case you dont spend anymore time on caddy.

Good luck either way.

butt_mountain_69420,

I’m betting you’ve nailed it. It doesn’t make sense to me why it won’t work. You’re also the second one to mention cloudflared. It is easy to set up?

Bluefruit,

ATnT should be able to tell you for sure. I remember reading about another person facing a cgnat using ATnT on reddit while i still went there so it very well could be.

And fairly easy setup yea. I did mine using a windows pc for testing as i was kinda in between places at the time and thats what i ended up using for jellyfin as well. Just lives on my media pc at the moment. The docs are pretty straight forward.

I recommend that or zero tier which is even more dead simple. Both are good but cloudflare does care about how much bandwidth you’re using so just bear that in mind if you think you’ll use the server for anything else.

Both are vpn tunnels so either should work just fine.

Self hosting can get pretty overwhelming but i find that using docs in addition to youtube videos helps a lot. I also recommend giving Linux a go when you feel up to it. It can be a very nice option if you’re working with older hardware.

butt_mountain_69420,

I’ve been messing with Linux on and off since 2005. Anything beyond normie operations usually ends in frustration.

butt_mountain_69420,

Oh I’m not calling those bastards at ATT- fuggin hate 'em

ArbiterXero, in Anyone tried this 4x 10gbe + 5x 2.5gbe router?

I bought an older model from this company and it’s been spectacular.

I only reboot it when the power dies, unbelievably reliable and quality build

sailingbythelee, in Am I in over my head? Need some encouragement!

I’m a Linux newb and I managed to set this up a couple months ago. Despite being new to servers and containers, I did not find it too difficult.

Here is the guide I used: zerodya.net/self-host-jellyfin-media-streaming-st…

The guide above doesnt include Audiobookshelf installation, but you will quickly see that adding Audiobookshelf to the basic setup is very easy. There are two things I’ve learned since the initial setup, which are worth a deviation from the guide above.

First, the recommendation in the guide to use a separate userid and groupid (1001) for the docker containers vs. your own userid/groupid (1000) is a royal PITA and not necessary for most basic use cases.

Second, and much more important, you MUST set up your VPN in a Gluetun container and then make your torrent client container a “service” of the Gluetun container. Yes, I know, that sounds like some advanced-level abstraction, but it is actually extremely easy to do and it will save you from getting a nastygram from your ISP when your VPN loses connection. The MPIAA is extremely active with automated detection and processing of torrenting data, but if you set up your VPN with Gluetun, you have a perfectly effective kill switch when your VPN connection drops. And, no, the built-in killswitch on your VPN client won’t work with containers.

Here is the guide I used to make that modification to the initial setup: www.smarthomebeginner.com/gluetun-docker-guide/

Good luck! It was fun to set up, and even more fun to use.

Seconding the other user’s post, it’s just storage. You can use it temporarily for the Plex server but I highly recommend offloading that task to a real computer.

A used Optiplex is usually the go-to because it’s low power and capable of doing the job. Just make sure it has enough RAM to handle the containers you wanna put on it.

Docker is a little bit of learning but you’ll get the hang of it. I found docker-compose to be much easier to learn. Portainer or Dockge can help by giving you a GUI, if that’s your preferred style (like me).

start small, and you should be able to do it no problem.

first off, ignore the wd. its storage. you dont want your storage and your processing mixing (i wouldnt anyway)

  • find yourself an old, shitty pc with >=4gb of ram, processor irrelevant.
  • slap a small ssd in, or dont. install linux
  • install docker
  • start installin containers

lots of available, preconfigured containers with instruction over at:
https://hub.docker.com

when you get your containers functional you can connect your media software (jellfyin) to the wd storage

Mixing storage and processing is now cool again. It’s just called hyper converged infrastructure.

I knew this day would come! blows the dust off my gateway machine with a P4 @ 1.6GHz Look, it’s even got a fdd, perfect for backup duty! If I could only find that Zip drive though…

id be shocked if that p4 had 4gb of ram though

wreckedcarzz, (edited )

It can do 2 sticks of 2gb, though it’s not 64bit capable

rhymepurple, in pooling media libraries - like distributed storage

Could you use symlinks? Not sure what the “gotchas” or downside to this approach is though.

DaPorkchop_,

Downside: it’s entirety manual and not scalable whatsoever.

rhymepurple,

Could you explain further? Wouldn’t this just need to be setup once per server that OP wants to connect?

When you tried caddy and received an error, that looks like you are getting the wrong image name.

Then you mentioned deleting caddyfile as the configuration didn’t work. But, if I am following correctly the caddyfile wouldn’t yet be relevant if the caddy container hadn’t actually ran.

Pulling from Caddys docs, you should just need to run


<span style="color:#323232;">$ docker run -d -p 80:80 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    -v $PWD/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    -v caddy_data:/data 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    caddy
</span>

Where $PWD is the current directory the terminal is currently in.

Further docs for then configuring for HTTPs you can find here under

Automatic TLS with the Caddy image

hub.docker.com/_/caddy

butt_mountain_69420,

I have not tried caddy through docker yet, just running it through a windows command line with admin priv. I’m looking into doing it with Docker, just haven’t started yet.

I will remember how familiar you are with docker!

oranki, in worth selfhosting immich or similar? what about backups?

There was a good blog post about the real cost of storage, but I can’t find it now.

The gist was that to store 1TB of data somewhat reliably, you probably need at least:

  • mirrored main storage 2TB
  • frequent/local backup space, also at least mirrored disks 2TB + more if using a versioned backup system
  • remote / cold storage backup space about the same as the frequent backups

Which amounts to something like 6TB of disk for 1TB of actual data. In real life you’d probably use some other level of RAID, at least for larger amounts so it’s perhaps not as harsh, and compression can reduce the required backup space too.

I have around 130G of data in Nextcloud, and the off-site borg repo for it is about 180G. Then there’s local backups on a mirrored HDD, with the ZFS snapshots that are not yet pruned that’s maybe 200G of raw disk space. So 130G becomes 510G in my setup.

possiblylinux127, in I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

I learned most of what I know though network my services and locking them down.
