@xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de You don’t need a “NAS” per se – just running a baremetal distro and using containers in it will suffice.
Further, while Nextcloud can work fine, I’d suggest not using it and going for individual solutions instead of something AIO – NC is fairly clunky, and fairly slow comparatively. It’s also PHP.
I personally use Proxmox + LXC/VMs in one Micro PC (i5-7xxx/24G), and Just Ubuntu with Docker compose in another(i5-6xxx/16G) alongside a couple of Oracle VMs. It works out fairly well.
For Digitizing paperwork and mail, paperless-ngx is a good solution. For your pirate ship, look into *arr solutions. jellyseerr -> sonarr/radarr -> bazarr -> jellyfin works fine.
@philpo@feddit.org Why not do something like wireguard/tailscale in your public facing instance, having nginx there, and reroute photos.domain.com to your private server?
so, something like
subdomain.domain-> dns pointed to public -> hits your public -> nginx there routes to wireguard ip of 10.1.1.5 of your private box -> -> hits your private 10.1.1.5:8080
or something?
