I can also just use stock android and assume they work. Sometimes y’all miss the forest for the trees.

TrueNAS if you’re on a budget

Except when it doesn’t. It can have issues around multicast dns.

Caddy’s developer gives me the ick. He’s way too pompous in PRs on GH. nginx is just a constant – it does exactly what you need to and does it well.

JerryrigEverything?

Anyone who says yes is either a professional in a field already requiring it (is aware of how to do it and what it means), retired (has unlimited time to tinker), or is Edward Snowden. For the average person, you don’t need to encrypt your disks.

If you want an OoTB solution you can get a Cloud Gateway from Ubiquiti (the ultra is like $200 I think) and use its vlan feature though you may need another switch.

Otherwise, if you’ve got unlimited time to tinker, proxmox or pfsense are ok options.

I personally run the UDM SE and I highly recommend this approach if you don’t want to roll it yourself.

The nice thing about MariaDB is that you can use it in place of MySQL for WordPress. AFAIK there’s no official way to do the same with psql.

For a newbie, cloudflare is fine. Relax.

You might have gotten a dud. I’ve got 4 in my NAS and they are silent.

I’m happy at my current job but know I’m underpaid. Not to toot my own horn but I’m pretty sure I’m un-fireable short of like an HR issue… This sort of scenario definitely makes me think twice about leaving / stirring the pot.

Convenience is key.

I’d reject anything from Theo too tbh
