Self hosted joy
  • Wonderful message and i wish you the best but post removed under rule #5 lmao

    jk and i'm sorry about your cancer; we are all on borrowed time and there are people getting hit by buses tomorrow who thought they will live another 50 years so hopefully you don't feel alone.

    I take your message to heart, I'm one of those earning a lot but I started humble and my only concern is making enough money to show my mom a good life.

    Wishing you the best and a successful treatment

    Router setup with a gamer in house
  • Can you run your own network downstream the gaming router?

    Double nat so you have your own stuff running behind your security stuff which is behind the main router your stepdad uses.

    He gets his priority routing and you get your security stuff

    Why is starting with Self-hosting so daunting?
  • Enjoy it man! All your problems can be solved with enough effort. THis is the best part, the part where you are forced to learn a bunch of new stuff to move up in your skills :)

    Best of luck! I love this shit!

    You should know Oracle Cloud gives you a wicked always free package
  • yeah idk maybe they changed it but i have an externally accessible IP where I can access my apps on different ports and I can point my domain to that IP with no problems. Homer has some functionality to serve the SSL cert and that is within the instance, it wouldn't matter if its a laptop at home or whichever cloud.

    One thing you may have run into is that you have to open ports in the security group so if you didn't do that then its "not accessible"

  • is there any reason you couldn't just point a domain you own to the IP address of the instances?

    For me its working and I serve the SSL certificate from the homer page or w/e

  • if you reread my post its more for learning and playing with more hardware than you get with AWS.

    I'm not suggestion people run critical services or data here

  • low key though couldn't you run more or less a pihole type vpn from cloud to a local network gateway?

    I mean you'll run up a lot of bandwidth and you would limit your speed but just saying out of curiosity you COULD reasonably do it

  • Perfect for those of us who are just playing around with stuff and don't have a spare PC/Device :)

    right and you shouldn't run critical stuff on other peoples hardware unless you are down pat with security, DR and HA concepts but this post was really aimed at people who just want something free to play around with and learn with

  • Thanks for the heads-up!

    I know people HATE oracle but for me its perfect, i'm just dinking around and I don't want to abuse making new AWS accounts for their 12 months free tier for a computer instance.

    I know that one of the reason they terminate instances is if they are deemed inactive as such that 20 percent or less CPU activity and some other fairly high minimums.

    I also know almost all cloud providers including cloudflare hate certain things like plex media servers for potential copyright violations.

    I'd say the reasons are perhaps unfair but nonetheless present.

    Anyways i personally just found out about it so as poorly received as the post has been, I hope someone does find this to be a fun way to dink around too

  • maybe it looks like a c&c for some botnet or w/e.

    can you make a new account with a new email? I know AWS lets you make new accounts very easily

    Instead of hosting at home, I've decided to go to the cloud and I LOVE the package you get with Oracle. You get enough computer hours for 2 amd based and 4 ARM based compute instances with generous network allocations.

    Perfect for those of us who are just playing around with stuff and don't have a spare PC/Device :)

    Hope this post helps someone have some fun!

    What should I do with spare PC?
  • Right and Op might be rocking a model 3 on a lease shared with a spouse. Everyone has a story. Assuming he's got a Tesla so just throw away 500-1000 bucks seems kinda closed minded for someone driving a classic sports car ;)

    You feel me dog or is this all going over your head?

    What should I do with spare PC?
  • It's overkill for a proxmox server that will likely sit idle

    Use it as a streaming PC, buy a quick video capture card and use it to edit, stream and store footage while your main PC stays clean for larger games
