Just reading through the steps there is a lot to get set up and sharing. You may need to consider simplification to on board more people. Looks like it could be put into a Docker container for setup. Did you want a hand with that?

Agree - better safe to not risk it when crossing borders. Even if you don’t have anything incriminating your identity can be stolen and used.

I know both Australia and UK have laws that allow border to take and copy your phones, laptops and storage devices. It’s not unusual.

For your media server setup.

Also this is a nice shopping list

Digital ocean also offers a bunch of guides from securing VMs to seeing up we servers.

There are scripts on github to reverse the change once you have done the update.

APT install is the same for Debian as it is for Ubuntu. Ubuntu delivers docker through APT or Snap but defaults snap.

Is that because you installed it via snaps instead of apt?

Any access from the internet is a possible attack vector.

This was my thought too. I am considering doing the github blog but via Codeberg pages. While I would prefer to use the fediverse because most locations are potentially ephemeral unless a blogging option became popular they all run the risk.

I’m contemplating moving my blog to write freely but they don’t seem like they will last. I don’t want to host it as I keep my servers unexposed.

I’m on both but got into the weeds thanks to reddit. The mods over there tried making an independent forum but it never got the momentum lemmy got.

Yeah it supports cert acquisition through let’s encrypt now.

Ubuntu server is pretty user friendly and has more frequent updates op. Plenty of info out there. My preference is uninstall snaps.

I wrote a script to remove snaps and install Docker as per the docker website. Works great mate.

Plus you get the benefit of frequent updates.

I can’t recommend unifi more. I moved into the ecosystem about 10 years ago with a USG and AP.

I run UCG with 3 WiFi APs at home and about 100+ devices, Inc 4 servers and 2 NAS.

Never have issues and it keeps up to date.

I have a separate WiFi for the guest house that is isolated and speed limited.

For a while I ran a controller to manage my home and my parent’s farm network, they have a Starlink into Express with 2 U6LR and loco wireless bridge to cover 1KM of farmland with pretty impressive speed WiFi.

I typically take an express on holidays with me now which vpns home to keep our lan where we go, I just need hotel LAN for the WAN.

I use tdarr to recode to h264 for compatibility. But most apps or devices have the codecs.

It should only be a real issue if you use surveillance station or Synology photos.

Nothing stopping you installing frigate.

Pretty neat. I think its a really nice looking app and helps navigating the database much nicer. I think what is missing for me is some of the power of applications like dbeaver where you can run queries as you go and easily hop between databases.

Also mouse wheel scrolls page not zoom which I think would be better. Definitely will use this next time I build a db in parallel with dbeaver.

I’ll be installing this tonight to give it a go beside dbeaver

If you don’t need the cicd stuff, Forjejo instances are really easy to spin up or use the ones online like codeberg.
