+1 for Cloudflare domains. I’ve got all my domains registered with them, can confirm that there are no identifiable details in the whois table for any of my domains.

There’s also an option to set up a vanilla WireGuard server. I’ve done that on my dream machine and am able to remote into my homelab with the vanilla WireGuard iOS & Mac apps

How is this better than/different from something like kavita

Had to scroll too far down to find this. OVH is great, VPSes are cheap & reliable. Oh, and bandwidth is unlimited… arrr 🏴‍☠️

I used to buy from Beatport when I was actively djing. Nice because the tracks are available in 320kbps or lossless. No idea how much Beatport’s cut is though

unethical life pro tip, but you can use the free tier of Cloudflare tunnels + Access to accomplish this. While technically against the ToS, I have been doing this with jellyfin for an over a year now, I don’t cache anything, and my overall bandwidth usage is low it’s probably not very noticeable. If I get banned at some point I’ll just create a new free account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Surprised nobody has mentioned cloudflare ddns. If you registered your domain with cloudflare, you can use the api or qdm12’s (author of gluetun) ddns-updater to keep your A/AAAA records up to date.

It’s definitely doable. I run both gluetun & tailscale in separate docker containers on Ubuntu. The trick here is that gluetun should get /dev/net/tun device (basically the default example in the project readme) and tailscale should he configured (via env vars) to run in userspace mode

To be fair there is a tvOS app in development but progress is slow because the whole project is maintained by a small handful of volunteers. They’ve put out a call for help and the maintainers post updates here

It was only a matter of time. Plex is a Series C startup, employs 100+ people, and has taken substantial VC investment. Those investors are expecting exponential returns, and a “one-time lifetime payment” will never sustain that sort of growth

Yes, unless you use a provider that doesn’t have bandwidth caps; I personally use OVH for that reason

Unethical life pro tip, but I use the free tier of Cloudflare tunnels and Cloudflare access to gate access to my jellyfin instance. This is technically against their TOS but I don’t cache anything and my bandwidth usage is low so it’s probably not too noticeable. I’ll update this post if I get banned at some point 🤡

So basically… this is a blatant cash grab, and a nearly 200% one depending on the level of service you pay/paid for. Wonder how long it will be before the lifetime pass is discontinued and everyone gets forcibly moved over to a monthly subscription model

Same, I also use Cloudflare dns, tunnels, and pages. Having these all in the same place makes it easy to deploy/keep track of everything

I use OVH. Reasonable prices, very reliable, and no bandwidth caps

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃

I’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough

I use wiki.js in the linuxserver.io flavor. I have 3 URLs for every service I run: public, LAN, and tailscale url. My “homepage” is a big markdown table with links to all the services. It’s not pretty by any means, but it’s very functional

The pi zero is good for small projects that don’t require a lot of compute, however I personally haven’t found it to be useful in a self-hosted context. Unless you really don’t care about performance, the low specs make it unsuitable for hosting most of the services you listed above

gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don’t worry about openvpn being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.
