If you use tailscale you could pretty easily get similar results.

Tailscale to broker connections between devices and then access with the tailscale IP address

Here’s a very old flow chart I made for some folks that didn’t want to use Linux. Though it mostly applies to any serup

While fair, now you have to have JavaScript enabled in the page which I think was the point. It was never able having only a little bit. It was that you had to have it enabled

That would make the website feel ultra slow since a full page load would be needed every time. Something as simple as a slide out menu needs JavaScript and couldn’t really be done server side.

When if you said just send the parts of the page that changed, that dynamic content loading would still be JavaScript. Maybe an iframe could get you somewhere but that’s a hacky work around and you couldn’t interact between different frames

If your able to spoof a different mac address and your ISP should assign you a different IP address

Whoa there, if your not careful they will start calling it the American ocean

This confuses me a bit, technically nextcloud is just a PHP script that only runs when you actually perform a page request.

If you don’t enable the Cron then it does even less than a normal install.

Depending on what services you want to give access with, I have had great luck with an ultra cheap VPS

Then I host my edge services on a container and use an ssh tunnel to the remote host which gives me an ipv4 and any port forward that I want.

For example I have my reverse proxy inside my network and my VPN server then I use a command like:

ssh -R 8080:localhost:80 public.example.com

Which would forward publicip:8080 to localhost:80

I use autossh to keep the tunnel alive at all times.

This is an ultra cheap way to get any ports you want and self host the whole thing. The remote VPS also doesn’t get any extra access to your local network and doesn’t initiate the connection so it doesn’t have credentials for your local network

Really I think we are going to see an increase in jellyfin uptake given the changes which is great for that project

But if you don’t already have lifetime and are paying monthly or annually then that price is also almost doubling

If you go with your option A, you could virtualize the windows install and run it inside of the truenas or other os using qemu.

You would still need to have enough drives for a new array, but that was always going to be the situation

It’s just from my phone. I have all the notifications off from the original app

Proxmox backup server is my jam, great first party deduplicated incremental backups. You can also spin up more than 1 and sync between them

Once in a while discord signs me out and I have to do a bunch of extra sign-in steps on the official client. But otherwise I have discord, WhatsApp, Google voice, Google chat, Google messages (sms), Facebook, telegram, signal.

All the mautrix bridges are will made and robust

So, one thing that’s not clear here. Is the server and your desktop both at the same location? If they are I see no reason why you couldn’t just leave all the files on the server, have an NFS or Samba share then just stop it on the server and start it (over the network share) on your desktop. It would be functionally seamless, would require no effort to keep the files in sync, and would ensure your running things in the box you want.

Ha indeed, every room in the house is getting 2 faceplates (on roughly opposite sides of the room) with 4 Ethernet that runs each back to the server rack. Is every room having 8 runs right back to the switch excessive, you bet.

In my old place I had one faceplate with 2 ethernet, coax and phone to each room, but phone and coax is useless and I didn’t have enough Ethernet.

Top to Bottom:

• 48port Patch panel
• Cisco 2990 48 port Poe
• 48port Patch panel (future)
• Cisco 2990 48 port Poe (future)
• 24 port patch panel (spare)
• Pfsense 2.5gb eth minipc
• 4u server 20 bay (proxmox)

Bottom area:

• 2 mini pcs (proxmox)
• PiKVM and ezcoo switch connected to all PCs
• Couple of UPS

The access to the crawlspace isn’t great so the CrapRack ^tm had to be assembled in the crawlspace.

I agree with this, though I think a lot of people don’t differentiate between operating system containers like LXC provides and application containers like docker provides.
