Garage definitely seems better suited for selfhosters and small setups, Minio is just so large and complex with specific requirements now.

You can also delegate a subdomain to another provider with an API, but yes I see what you mean. Although I feel like getting port 80 open would be difficult as well in those situations.

It does but it’s a bit of a weird way of doing things.

I’d say they’re actually easier, at least in my experience. Since wildcard certs use DNS-01 verification with an API, you don’t need to deal with exposing port 80 directly to the internet.

You shouldn’t have the do anything specific at all, local network stuff works without internet and Jellyfin doesn’t rely on any internet servers like Plex does for authentication.

Interesting, that sounds much more complex than using some backup software to image the drive!

Neat idea, a lot more money than a 7th/8th gen box on ebay, but you have a built in UPS and screen for troubleshooting which is nice.

Odd, I’ve had a Pixel, Oneplus 7 pro, and now a Galaxy S21 and they all pick up my DNS server from DHCP without any issues.

If you have private DNS turned off it doesn’t, unless maybe you have some manufacturer specific weirdness going on with extra software.

Does a PC connected to the same wifi network as the phone get the proper DNS servers and work like it should?

Strange, have you checked the interface info on Android to see what DNS info it’s getting from the DHCP server?

Also check that it’s getting an IP on the 192.168.x.y network, and not some other subnet if the AP is doing funky things.

Do you have private DNS enabled on Android? That would use a public DNS server by default regardless of what DHCP configures.

Also check your browsers, some have their own DNS settings.

Frigate has been great, I’ve run it for years now.

Using OpenVINO on my Intel iGPU for hardware accelerated object detection and encode/decode.

The tunnels are encrypted. But I don’t know if they use SSL or something else.

I looked around awhile ago and didn’t really find anything good.

I think the best option is a raspberrypi and one of those 12-15" portable HDMI monitors.

Your router doesn’t handle LAN traffic so an upgrade shouldn’t make any difference, unless you have multiple VLANs and are passing traffic between them and don’t have a Layer 3 switch in use to handle inter-VLAN routing.

I would probably start with an iperf test for download bandwidth to the Pi from the server. If that looks OK then I would benchmark the NFS share for read speed on the Pi, make sure that’s not doing something weird.

If that all looks good then I would probably suspect that Kodi either isn’t using hardware acceleration properly, or the specific media codec is not supported by the Pi for hardware acceleration.

Security for a full blown web app is not trivial and has a bigger “attack surface” than a kdbx file moving p2p through my devices via syncthing.

Absolutely.

My Vaultwarden instance is only accessible via LAN or VPN though, I don’t think I’d want to expose it to the internet.

Not really, it uses some GPU power when it’s actively generating a response, but otherwise it just sits idle.

The other handy reason to keep torrent files around is you can use it to verify the data you have isn’t corrupted or changed in some way.

DNS is only used initially on first load, after that the connection is made via IP and DNS isn’t used.
