I use the names of greek deities for my host names, mostly geared towards the function of the server/computer.

• Nyx (dark-blue laptop)
• Hypnos (gaming machine)
• Argus (pi-hole and reverse proxy)
• Prometheus (minecraft server)

That would mean bedrock, java is limited to pc’s only.

I’m currently saving up to buy a fractal design node 804 to build a NAS with 4 drives within. Also trying to create some more reliable backups using said NAS.

I was planning on filtering local and external IP’s, like technotim explains in one of his videos by using cloudflare as an external reverse proxy

I’m aware of this. There are a few services I expose, but most of them are local. I just wanted to make accessing local services a bit cleaner.

Will also take a look at the router DNS, thanks a lot!

Okay, I’ll start with configuring pihole for DNS. If I get it, I can just use that DNS and if I need to access a service external I need to register the domain with my registrar?

Thanks for the reply! I think I get it now.

I’m currently using firefox nightly which seems somewhat hardened, browsing histlry and cookies are cleared on closing and adblocking is enabled by default. No add ons tho

I would also recommend firefox/firefox nightly as web browser and perhaps grayjay for youtube alternative (it still uses the youtube service tho)

Great! Thanks a lot, this will help

sounds good, do you have any docs on how to do that?

so you basically have a copy of your media library on a local machine?

I’ll also take a look at this

pterodactyl looks really neat, will definitely look into that. I have a manual system for my media library, so I want to add the directories with artwork and movies manually to the directory which jellyfin reads.

I will take a look, thank you very much!

I’m now considering syncing my minecraft world with syncthing, I already use it for some things but don’t know why I didn’t think of doing that.

On the other hand, if I have a 100+ gb media library, it seems kinda over the top to also have it fully copied on my local machine. Do you do this?

I’m considering this, as I can see by your example, you can add a domain name to the server. How would you go over doing this?

sounds like a good option, will definitely try this out

Do you automate your backups in some way? And can you also use samba remotely
