How to + all my compose files in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] RushTfe@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I have npm as well, but I couldn't set pihole together with it.

I mean, I can have both containers running if I change pihole ip for something different (let's say 8081),but then I'm not able to use it as a dns server in my router.

How did you fix this? Or do you have pihole in a different computer? (ip)

Jellyfin+adblocker What is the best setup for me please ? in c/main@selfhosted.forum

In my opinion, you should use docker (docker compose). You can install and uninstall your services as many times as you want, without loosing info or configs, and without messing with your os with dependencies. I think almost any Linux distribution will do. I use Ubuntu server, but yeah, whatever works for you, if you're using docker it shouldnt matter.

If you go that way, I'd recommend linuxserver.io docker stuff. They're awesome, with good docs, and easy to follow. Pretty straightforward.

I'd also recommend to use something like nginx proxy manager if you're going to open to the Web, and have a reverse proxy.

About cloudflare , I've heard that it's against their tos to stream copyrighted media stuff. I haven't used it, so I can't be clear about it, someone else could help you more in that subject.

Need help setting up split tunnel VPN (alien.top)
 

Hello everyone!

I'm fairly new to this selfhosting stuff, and I've been learning a lot of stuff from all of you, so first of all, thank you for your awesome contributions, guides and help.

​

First, some context of what I have.

​

- I've everything working under a ubuntu server. I mainly use it for nextcloud, Jellyfin + ARRs and transmission for my linux isos.

​

- I also use NPM as a reverse proxy to access all of my stuff from outside.

​

- All of my services, are installed through docker compose.

​

- I have a google domain pointing to my router, so I need to keep it working.

​

- I want to use a VPN server to protect some of my services.

​

- Last but not least, I need some of my services (jellyfin and nextcloud at least) outside the VPN as my family uses them, and I dont want them to be installing vpns and stuff to use it.

​

Few days ago, I had a problem with transmission where someone was downloading games, and some of you suggested me I should use a VPN with split tunneling. Mullvad seems to cover this, and I read a lot of people saying good things about it, so I think I should go there.

​

I've been reading a bit about this, but I'm totally confused on how to do this. I've read a lot of info, and it looks overwhelming to start from 0. Might end up being easy, but I'm lost and don't know where to start.

  1. Do i need to install mullvad server directly inside my linux? (I haven't seen much on installing it through docker, but I would prefer this way if possible). I have seen a docker mullvad web browser but I'm sure it is not what I'm looking for.
  2. Do I have to create an account in mullvad outside my server?
  3. what does tailscale have to do with all of this? and why people encourage its use so much?
  4. how should I start with this?
  5. Do I have to port forward If using VPN?
  6. Do I have to still port forward for the services I want outside the VPN? (Jellyfin and Nextcloud) or is it the only way to reach them?
  7. Can I keep all my services under my google domain even when some of them are through VPN and the others dont?
  8. Do I have to change settings on my reverse proxy in order to make this all work?

​

Sorry if those are too much questions, but I'm about to hurt myself in confusion.

​

Thank you all in advance!!

Random gamess are being downloaded in transmission in c/main@selfhosted.forum

And another question. Possibly noob question. Why would anyone want to download stuff at my computer? Just to have more seeders?

I wouldn't like using a vpn, as I have people using my services and don't want them to be installing their vpns at their pcs, tvs, etc.... Are there other options to avoid it? Otherwise I will do this, but would prefer to avoid it.

Random gamess are being downloaded in transmission (alien.top)
 

As title said.

I have my system, with jellyfin, radarr, sonarr, prowlarr and transmission (amongst other services but possibly not related).

The thing is, since today's morning, random games are being downloaded in my torrent. I haven't done it, how is it possible that they get added without permission?

By now, I'm just deleting them as I'm at work and have no time to check much.

But it's big quantities, like, 10 or 15 games are being suddenly added. Deleted all of them in the morning, and they showed up again
