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.

Hiding your IP when you open services to the internet.

No it doesn't. It hides it from things accessing your server but your IP address is not a secret and bots will scan it even if you do absolutely nothing on-line. And unless you're using a VPN 24x7 while browsing you give your IP address out more often by "using the internet" than you would by "running a server".

Though I suppose if you're the sort of person who really cares about hiding their IP you're also using a VPN 24x7 anyway... The VPN companies' marketing has worked wonders on spooking people about "your IP is available" it seems. I mean - sure, it is. But who cares?

Breaking out of ISP NAT (aka carrier NAT / CGNAT), where clients can’t open connections to your public IP.

That's fair - if needed.
