I have to admit, I’m a bit confused.

I have dns records already in my domain provider pointing to a tailscale ip

I want to know what I have to do to get minecraft.example.com to resolve interenally.

Since your domain resolves to an internal private Tailscale IP and your question is how to access using the domain, locally…. I feel like there’s an error in your architecture here. Wouldn’t any device that is on your Tailscale private network already have access using the domain name? If by “resolve internally” you mean hosts on your LAN, not connected to Tailscale scale? How would that be possible if it resolves to a Tailscale IP. If you have control of your DNS on your LAN, you could simply add an override and point it to the LAN address of the Minecraft server.

it’d be nice to be able to use a domain instead.

If your looking to access it outside your LAN, you’re gonna want to open up the correct ports on your router’s firewall.

How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale

I think it’s very important to separate a random “VPN” solution to using Tailscale.

instead of being able to access the service directly?

Focusing on Tailscale. Who turns off Tailscale? It is “directly” connecting to your service or app or whatever. That’s the whole point.

Gittea and Forgejo both have self hosted container registries.

Discord has forums built in. I know everyone hates it when I mention it, but there is continuity on Discord and has been for several years now.

That’s because it’s not exactly a great point. Look, we’re all glad they caught up to 1980’s bbs tech, but it’s behind a login screen. YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER TO ACCESS IT.

Discord had always been a square peg beaten with a hammer to fit in a round hole. Eventually gaining basic features for the things it was never meant to be used for. Forcing people to sell themselves out just to read some documentation on an open source project.

Which is unfortunate. Hiding projects, code and support behind discord is just wrong.

There are Linux and open source communities on discord. I mean, just think about that for a second. These people have chosen to put their stuff on a platform that has refused to acknowledge the existence of their OS / development platform. Every other post on Reddit in the Linux community before I left was about some half assed discord workaround.

If you’re using invidious and have the web client, iOS or android client like Yattee… wouldn’t your default feed essentially be a playlist of all new videos?

It seems that the commenter’s intention was clear to everyone except you. The commenter acknowledged the need for RAID software or a specific file system, mentioning that it had already been addressed. Understood the budget and OP being an newb.

Although their tone may have been blunt, they stayed focused on their original point.

But you just kept nagging. lol

Either way OP was helped and now you can sleep knowing you did your part. A true internet hero.

Then there has to be a firewall, web server whitelist or some kind of configuration issue with the service being hosted. Because according to all your responses they are on the same WiFi with the same subnet/gateway/netmask.

Same netmask?

When asking for network troubleshooting assistance, super useful to provide ANY kind of network info. So far we have WiFi and same subnet. Yet absolutely no details which are necessary to help form questions or provide answer.

Can you post the IP Netmask and Gateway of your Linux server and one of your mobile devices that can’t view the server?

Can you ssh into the Linux server from your mobile device?

Same. It’s been on my list for too long.

Your network is probably configured with inconsistent subnets / netmasks. iOS / Android are on WiFi and getting a different subnet/netmask than your severs.

Edit: What does pinging the server with nmap mean? Are you checking open ports or pinging the server? That doesn’t make sense or at least leaves us with more questions with the way you worded that. Although the nmap utility can provide both of those answers, I’m not sure that’s what you meant. Technically nmap and ping are two different tools.

I want my phone to be more like a computer and install what I want on it. But, I recognize the walled App Stores has maybe protected the common folks from turning our cellular network into a large, out of control, botnet.

With that said, I recognize computers exist. I guess I just hope it’s done with thought and care.

All of my TVs have never seen an internet connection. I know the Apple hate is strong, but I’ve been throwing ATVs behind them since they were first released. No ads, no BS. Just a very clean experience that has never changed. I couldn’t imagine thinking putting a Google device from the largest advertising company on the planet would be some kind of upgrade.

prometheus and grafana … seems to be the universally accepted solution for self-hosted monitoring

Not exactly. There are many ways to do this. Most of us just use this solution because its easily scalable, highly documented and what we are probably already doing currently at work.

all built into one container

It’s nice to separate data sources from the dashboards and alerting platforms. It’s scalable and extremely light weight and gives you more options.

On top of prometheus not seeming useful on its own …

Yeah, that’s just not always true. Maybe for you, in your use case.

Installing a Prometheus node exporter gives you an easily accessible end point with JSON data that can be used however you like. Modularity is a good thing. Being able to swap parts in and out with other parts is a good thing.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, there is not an exact correct answer here, use what fits your needs. While I have a dash board setup in grafana, it’s not my main use case. Since the data is available from all the node-exporters on all my hardware, I wrote up my own alerting scripts and automations using python.

That’s the beauty of modularity and standards when self hosting.
