My laptop is called xontros-gatos, which in my native language means fat-cat. Similarly, my server is called server-cat, a small laptop that I have for testing stuff is called small-cat and a new laptop that I just got is called fatter-cat.

After having upgraded my Pi-Hole to v6, for some reason yesterday it started to not recognize any of the blocklists. So, I resetted it and now it works.

Yes, this is it. I bought it because it was cheap (100€) and had a built-in CPU. The only problems are that it hasn’t got many SATA or PCIe ports. This is fine however, because I have no need for them right now.

This is a custom built mini PC, with a mini-ITX motherboard and an Intel N100 CPU. It gets powered by a power supply that I got from an old computer. Also, it needs no active cooling, just a heatsink. It almost never gets above 60°C.

(and yes, it has no case).

In it I run:

• Jellyfin
• All of the *arr stack
• Pairdrop
• My website
• My personal Lemmy instance
• Immich
• Pi-Hole
• Home Assistant
• Grafana/Prometheus/Node-Exporter stack for monitoring

Is it just me, or have I seen like 6-7 of these posts at this point?

I managed to fix this problem by pointing my domain name to my private IP address (with pihole’s local DNS entries), so I could access it. Then, I just got certs for the domain and applied them with nginx.

I know, but for some reason my router does not let me access my domain (with duckdns) when connected to my network. So even if I get certs for the domain, I will not be able to access it. I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don’t know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

EDIT: Fixed it. (See reply for fix)

Sad it does not support Invidious. Else I would be using it.

Yes, basically on internal LAN I put admin admin to everything.

Why though? This just means that Windows 11 will run on more devices? Why is so important for your device to have a TPM and Secure Boot enabled, and a supported processor? If I were Microsoft, I would put the requirements even lower or even removed them.

I just use ext4 on everything. It works pretty nicely.

I think you can encrypt drives by using a key stored in the TPM, if you have one. See the Arch wiki for info.

Though I have heard the TPM is not as secure..

1. Not having to give up my privacy for everything.
2. GUIs are not needed when self-hosting. (I mean when deploying services)
3. Learn Linux and start simple with a Raspberry Pi or laptop. That’s how I started.

I don’t have any job that needs to run 24/7, so I poweroff my server at night (12 am) and start it in the morning using WOL.

OK, maybe I will think about some other use for the Raspberry Pi then.

Maybe, but I my router is not hackable and I don’t plan on buying one that is.

While trying to set up the WLAN, I couldn’t connect to the AP, it said no internet access, and I couldn’t connect to the Pi, or ping any device from it.

Can you explain more the setup? What VMs would I need to run?

Thanks for responding. I actually don’t have Immich yet on the Raspberry Pi, so it’s the first time I will be installing it and then importing the photos. I don’t actually care a lot about the migration, since I can just reconfigure the services. I want to ensure that if a drive fails, I can restore the data. I would try RAID, but I read that “RAID is not backup”. Or I could just run the command you provided in a cronjob.
