pretty new setup but so far I’ve got

symmetra - synology dsm (nas)
junkrat - intel nuc main server

need to name my desktop/laptop now and maybe networking gear. thinking ramattra for the router and zenyatta for the bridge

Awesome thank you, this is what I ended up setting up today. It’s a bit of an awkward solution for now, I would very much like to use it for its ad blocking functionality but I’m unsure if I want to make it my only DNS provider while I’m still migrating services over to the mini PC and messing with the server config. I had set up Pihole years ago and my wife ran into problems using some apps on her phone so I think I’d need to be more proactive about making sure that’s working this time around too.

Thanks for the advice, I didn’t know a reverse proxy was what I was setting up though I’ve seen that term all over. I think Caddy is likely in my future but I already have basic access to my home network through a Wireguard tunnel for now so I was hoping dnsmasq could solve for my case without getting too fancy or exposing any ports. I think I should probably try to learn about reverse proxies more generally to figure out the next steps forward.

I’m a new selfhoster and reached the limit on what my DS923+ can handle after setting up an Immich instance (on top of qbitorrent, radarr/sonarr, plex). So I picked up a mini PC this week and migrated the Immich stack over (pointing to an NFS mount for the NAS!) and now it’s running super smooth 🙌 Now I’m hype to move over more services and eventually start separating out media services from mission-critical stuff like photos when I have another machine handy.

I wanted to set up local domain resolution for my devices in order to stop having to visit sites with the local 192.168.1.x IP, so I started following some guides to run dnsmasq on the mini PC (Ubuntu Server) and add entries to /etc/hosts. It was pretty easy to get working OK, but for whatever reason the DNS doesn’t seem to be working on a fresh boot. My local workstation can’t ping the custom DNS entries for my devices until I sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq on the mini PC, after which everything works fine, which leads me to believe it’s some weird boot order problem? I’m trying not to screw with it too much before bed, but hopefully I can figure out what’s going on this week.

This was my first thought on reading the thread 🙈 I’m so glad I knocked that out when I was like 11, no way my mid-30s ass is staying focused enough for a challenge like that now.

Shapez2 went into EA a couple weeks ago too, I’ve been waiting for Factorio DLC anxiously but this Satisfactory release took me by surprise. It’s such a good year for factory sims 🕺

I had put down Satisfactory earlier this year when starting T8 but I think the full release has rejuvenated my interest, I’m hype to finish the game now 🙌
