  • I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing

    This is what certbot is for. For example, with nginx, you just set up the webserver to be reachable via your domain.

    You then install and run certbot, and it will aquire, install and configure, and then set itself up to auto-renew, a certificate. All with just one command.

    With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup

    Yes you can?

    I’ve done it thrice now.

    Is this some limitation of the docker AIO stack?

    No sane NAS should work that way.

    Unless you have a giant raid array, where you need all the drives running at the same time on the same system, plugging in a single raid 1 member, for example, via usb to sata adapter, should let you access its contents just fine.

    Provided you’re on an OS that can read the file system. That can require some extra effort on windows.

    But yeah. Beware of the pre-built NASes. The vendor lock-in is real.


  • A part of it is concern.

    System administration on a system you’re planning to use remotely over the internet must be done right. Not being sure what you’re doing is how we all learn, but you really should be sure before exposing yourself to the internet.

    It’s not like experimenting with linux on a laptop. Self-hosting is usually about providing some sort of service for yourself, which if accessed by someone malicious, can be used to really hurt you.

    I didn’t tho.

    You’re confusing my homelab with my dads OMV NAS that is running kopia as its only non-standard service because I wanted to use it as my off-site target.

    I wasn’t presenting OMV as the solution to all of OPs examples, I literally just commented to point out “hey this is kinda like hexos but foss”.

    To which you responded “lol no, there is no comparison”. Which is both untrue, and a rude way to go about saying anything.


  • I don’t use docker via a GUI. And I don’t run docker at all on the NAS running OMV.

    My backup solution is Kopia. Two servers, each running an instance that backs up local storage to the other.

    OP isn’t talking about a full homelab. If all you need is a home VPN and some network storage via SMB, OMV is fine.

    For my homelab, OMV would be clunky af. For the NAS at my dad’s end, it’s ideal.

    That’s not really my point.

    You can’t cancel out bad things with good things.

    That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.

    If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.

    Not necessarily. If you average everything, that hides any outliers.

    The bigger the sample size for your stats, the less it tells you. You could have an entire country’s worth of people in China, living in conditions that lead to horrible stats, and have that essentially disappear in the stats of the whole country.

    You should break stats down into smaller chunks. But not just arbitrarily. Do it by province, city, district. That’s how you find the problem areas. The bigger the area you measure, the less the stats tell you about the individual citizens.

    Well yeah.

    You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.

    As for China, their population is so large that almost any bad stat looks small. Zoom in on someplace like Hong Kong, and the stats go right back to concerning.
