Hey y'all!

I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.

All of my services are in docker.

My main services that i MUST keep are:

  • Immich
    • 600Gb or so
    • very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
  • paperless
  • vaultwarden
  • custom location tracking service
  • radicale

I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's

I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.

any thoughts?

edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

Are any of your services public facing?

Yes. i think that is like a "bastion" server, or something like that. good idea. I expect that i can get more-or-less free VPS, and just run the NPM and tailscale or something there.

I would not run any of the *arrs on a network that is not yours

Good thought, i dont think i would need it whilst i am away anyway.

And definitely make sure your friend knows

yep, responsible hosting :D

thanks for the thoughts.>

Well not free VPS (if you want it to be semi-reliable) but within $3-5/mo.

You don't need to run your NPM on the VPS (although it does make things easier). You can:

  • Forward the whole interface to your server and just sort things out there. Downside: all visitors will appear to have the VPS's IP.
  • Do DNAT/SNAT one the VPS to make the forwarded connections appear to have the original remote IP instead of the VPS. Downside: a bit more complicated (a few firewall rules).
  • Install a very basic nginx proxy on the VPS whose whole job is to put the original remote IP in a HTTP header, and on your server NPM use that header. Downside: you have to terminate and restart the TLS connection on the VPS.
  • Use SSH tunnels instead of VPN tunnels. A VPN forwards a whole interface, a SSH tunnel forwards a single port. You will still have to deal with the IP thing. Additional downside is that it only works for TCP, it's not worth bothering to forward UDP. But it's much simpler to set up than a VPN, basically one command (or autossh to maintain it automatically).
