I know, having had one, that you can set a power budget… but it’s going to clock your CPUs all the way down and still run at least 120W with horrible performance.

That would be a good place to start. Which providers does it support?

You can self host services on cloud servers.

You could also put it on a cloud system and not worry about your local connection.

What are you actually using for storage, and how is it connected?

I run MECM at home so that my Windows machines don’t reboot themselves on their own. Apparently it corrupted its database some weeks ago, and I didn’t notice until the backups had aged out. So I had to build a new one from scratch, and holy fuck I hate it every time. So many steps not documented or automated in the installation, to say nothing of all the items scattered across the MECM console that you have to configure before it does anything.

So I guess I should get around to log and system monitoring.

Docker should be trivial to run. Hopefully it gives you some useful messages in the logs.

How long is the warranty? If the warranty is through the company, how long is the company going to be around?

Marketing and sales

I have the Jonsbo N3 and I’ve been happy with it. The N2 should do you just fine.

Why?

What device are you going to put this shared storage on?

And they’d lose a huge number of potential sales.

Or would be a useful hostage to trade for a Chinese person held in OP’s country.

Create a vpn tunnel between the public and private servers for that app.

There’s no time to learn like the present! Your existing compose file has an example, but if that doesn’t work, the traefik docs are useful too.

Then drop nginx and just use traefik.

Why are you using both nginx and traefik?

Not just old insecure, but current insecure too. Plenty of stuff runs fully current but still vulnerable code. Put it behind a firewall.

Nor is it authentication.
