The term to look for is out of band management. Typically this will provide serial/console access to a device, and can often perform actions like power cycling. A lot of server hardware has this built in (eg idrac for Dell, IPMI generically). Some users will have a separate oobm network for remotely accessing/managing everything else.

“I’m fed up with being discriminated against for discriminating against others.”

It amazes me that so many people obsessed about self hosting everything use this service - really asking for it.

Thanks Obama

I haven’t kept up with the plot this season. Trump’s nemesis is still Biden right? Or did Obama somehow return?

Seattle has a tenant’s union, though I’m not sure it’s what this article is referring to. https://tenantsunion.org/rights/seattle-tenant-resources

What does that even mean? Guy probably has no idea.

I didn’t say you were, I said you were asking about a topic that enters that area.

You’re entering the realm of enterprise AI horizontal scaling which is $$$$

Import it into the trust store in the browser/OS. It should be the same (or very similar) operation for a self-signed cert and a CA that isn’t subordinate to the standard internet root CAs.

If you can’t import your own root CA cert then you’re probably screwed on both fronts and are going to have to use certs issued by a public CA that’s subordinate to a commonly trusted root CA.

My point here is that there’s little distinguishing a self-signed cert and a cert issued by your own private CA for most people that are self-hosting.

Trust the self signed cert. Works similarly to trusting a CA.

Running your own CA is essentially still a form of self signed. Though it will work better for some use cases (at the cost of more complexity)

You don’t need a public DNS record for https to work. You can just use public external certs as long as it’s for a domain you own. You don’t need to setup the same domains externally.

If you want certs for a domain you own, then yeah you’re looking at self signed.

You may be thinking like a programmer but the guy you responded to is thinking like a software engineer.

The American Dream is home ownership and comfortably supporting a family - not like he’s doing anything to make that more accessible either.

Encryption in transit even internally is a good practice. That said, op is making life hard by refusing to use DNS.

I feel like op is about to find out why businesses pay for cloud services.

You just described a load balancer. The router doesn’t know about DNS but clients using your service use DNS. You can do some simple load balancing behind DNS. If you want to do it by IP address you want a load balancer though.
