Same. The setup was super easy.

Am I the only one who thinks jellyfin is not only superior to pure, but also way more intuitive to setup? I still don’t understand how plexs routing works, and why I need a central account in order to connect to my own server.

Emacs and org-mode.

I use it, sponsor it and love it.

It’s not “very difficult” to self host. Arguably it’s one of the easier public things to self host. Takes an inexperienced IT enthusiast maybe 2 hours to setup. As for CGNAT, I am very happy that it was not a thing with my past and current ISPs. That would complicate things further of course.

Yes, that’s why I said mostly. In this context reverse proxy is being used to access different ports via 80/443 from outside. That is not necessarily the use case you’re mentioning.

What the fuck is your problem 😂😂

How does reverse proxy help with security? Reverse proxy is mostly there for the convenience.

If it doesn’t have to be exposed, then it shouldn’t be exposed. A Webserver should be exposed: Nginx and co are working on it for decades. Jellyfin on the other hand is a much smaller project, and chances for security issues are significantly higher.

Oof. Do you have any experience doing stuff like this? If you don’t, I don’t think you should take this job. If you know what you’re doing however, then I don’t understand many of your questions. What is the DHCP and firewall situation at the Uni? What is your backup solution? Why will you not have an access key after setup? If there is another team also managing it? What do they think?

In any case, I would NOT use a Mac as a server. You can run Asahi or such on it, but many of our idioms just don’t work on Mac.

If it’s from a Uni and power consumption and Noise don’t matter, I would buy (consciously) three used 1u servers and cluster two proxmox nodes. On the third I would run a proxmox backup server. If money also doesn’t matter, I would do the same, but buy new.

However, you may not even need proxmox, but the issue is that you don’t even know what they are going to use the server for. This makes it impossible for us to give you good suggestions.

Same. I got a FRITZ!Box and it can do 90% of things I need. You can’t set VLANs to my knowledge. Worth knowing.

For beginners here: do not run apt upgrade!! Read the documentation on how to upgrade properly.

Three steps:

1. point the FQDN to your network (Dynamic DNS).
2. set up reverse proxy (Nginx, etc.)
3. set up certificates (Certbot, etc.)

Optional step 4: harden with fail2ban and a firewall.

Same boat. I put everything in Picard and let it analyze everything. It turned out about 95% perfect. Haven’t touched it since, and I’m using the metadata it generated.

What font is that?

Then he should use Mullvad.

I use elfeed with emacs.
