Thanks for the information. I will have to look into SNI and see if my router can support it – if I move someday to an ISP behind a more restrictive firewall, this system looks pretty good. (Or if I get unhappy with one reverse proxy handling everything).
Thank you, this looks like a great guide
Thanks, this is definitely the way I would like to go!
I would like to use tailscale for some services, but the ones I access from public computers, like nextcloud or blog hosting, can’t be behind a VPN.
I would love the Synology to Synology backup to be behind the VPN, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it working, so that is lower down on my list.
Things like Jitsi would be cool to have behind the vpn, but then I’d have to get everyone to install tailscale on their phones and configure access, so that’s going to be too complicated for me and my family unfortunately.
This is what I use
I use nextcloud notes because I already have nextcloud and my needs are not that sophisticated
From reading the comments, I think you could be a lot leaner by selling the $100 setup fee, and telling people which “kit” is supported, and they buy that on their own.
That way you don’t have to deal with any of the physical infrastructure of buying/selling/storing hardware, and people can do some customization.
However I do think you’d need to put some restrictions in place so that people don’t buy cheap crap that doesn’t work and expect you to set it up and support it. They have to buy the kit or other compatible hardware.
I’m not sure what services you’d support, but personally I’d be interested in something like a personal introduction and setup of
Maybe migration of
You could make different prices depending on what service they want, kind of like a bike stop.
I wouldn’t want a perpetual subscription, but I could stomach something like $100 setup + $5/mo for limited support for a year.
Best thing for me is that community support also exists for all these things too, but it’s hard to do it on your own sometimes.
Sweet! Let me know if it works for you!
It’s a Sony TV, a Bravia model from many years ago. It runs on a raspberry pi 2, connected with HDMI. There is a setting called CEC (if I remember correctly) that was automatically enabled, and lets the TV remote’s commands pass thru to the RPI over the HDMI cable. Should work for most TVs, but if you use an HDMI to DisplayPort/usbC adapter, some of those might not work right.
I hope you can try it out because it’s very convenient as a user. And as the administrator you can still connect a mouse/keyboard or use a smartphone to configure the more powerful things Kodi can do.
The one that came with my tv.
I just click up down left right enter return and it works.
You’re describing a completely foreign experience to me. I’ve always controlled Kodi with the TV remote. It’s kind of annoying to type in stuff, but I mostly use Kodi to record and watch jeopardy.
Not OP but I found Kodi incredibly intuitive up until the point that something didn’t behave as expected. Then it was very complicated and support was difficult to find and understand.
Not even that much work. Libre elec is pretty simple as long as you don’t do anything too creative
Am also an idiot. I have several raspberry pis and UPS boards mostly operating on hopes and dreams, and the most useful things I do are a single-user nextcloud instance that’s even accessible over the Internet, and a smb drive that’s always accessible
Let’s be real the type of hotel I can afford doesn’t want customers that care about the Wi-Fi
I will try to investigate further, but for instance if you go to duckduckgo.com, it says something like “this website is not on our whitelist, let us know if you think you need access.” It’s very annoying, so I avoid the WiFi when I can.
unless you are important they’ll tell you to pound sand.
What can you do if the school has a whitelist of domains they accept HTTPS (443) connections for?
THANK GOD IT’S YOU
Interesting, I already use cloudflare DNS and had “proxy” turned on for nextcloud, but I still had to open 80 and 443 on my router, so I’ll look up how to set up the free tunnel sometime
