This just reminds me of the days of Instant Messengers on PC when you had to use a third-party one to connect to all your accounts in one app. I don't really know how I feel about it right now...
I'll probably try to replace our current DLNA server with Jellyfin, but I'm still unsure if we want or need Sonarr and Radarr.
Hahaha! That would definitely be me if I worked as a sysadmin or something.
Think of the NGINX proxy in Lemmy's docker-compose.yml
file as the entry point to Lemmy from outside the Docker network. For instance, I don't have any ports mapped for the individual services except for the NGINX service. The NGINX proxy in this docker-compose file will access the other services through the internal docker network, so it isn't a problem if you set up your nginx.conf
file with the service's names. With that done, you could map any port you want for the NGINX service from the host, then point your internet-facing reverse proxy to that.
I also plan on setting up a Mastodon server, but I haven't gotten to it yet. So I don't have anything specific to add other than it will work similarly by using docker's port mapping or service names depending on whether each service needs to be internet-facing or only communicate internally.
No, no you should not. I haven't used homepage but you probably just need to attach the services to the same network or just map the ports on the host and just use the host IP.
You're right, but as you said, the reason I reacted this way is because of the way you posted it. I'm also taking out some frustration about everyone and their mother having some "great feature" or idea they want to suggest even if they haven't thought it through. For that, I apologize.
Maybe it could be done, but I'm quite sure that doing it correctly wouldn't be as simple as you think. I won't pretend to know how all of the software works, but I think it's safe to assume there are a lot of technical things to consider, especially when federating (and other fediverse software) comes into play. Realistically, I would see this as a waste of effort and a very low priority.
That is exactly what I thought of when I read this. Why would Lemmy implement such a seemingly obvious bad feature and become 4chan?
Also, the claim that this would prevent bot accounts is way off. Bot accounts still need an instance to register on anyways. The thing is, anyone can spin up an instance at any time All this "feature" would do is let them hide...
Great post to demonstrate how some ideas might sound good to you, but are actually just bad, lol.
Nice! I updated my instance already. Thank you to all contributors! 🥳
Since nobody bothers to check previous posts (even from just a day or two ago), I won't bother with the details. All I will say is to learn the purposes of an MX record and how sending email works (and the differences). Hint: MX records have nothing to do with sending emails from your server. Just use a third party SMTP service in your config.hjson
file.
I have had an issue with updates to Nginx Proxy Manager breaking itself in the past so I switched to Traefik.
NPM is much more user-friendly when it works. However, as mentioned, Traefik integrates directly with docker through labels, making it very convenient if not a bit more of a learning curve.
So far, the only annoyance I have with Traefik is that I haven't found a very easy way to host itself on a separate server from where the containers are running because it uses the docker.sock file to pick up the labels on running containers automatically. Instead, I manually create files for the files provider. I don't think this is an issue if you are using Kubernetes, but I haven't gotten all the way down that road quite yet, as it is a bit overkill for me.
I dual boot Linux on my gaming PC and remember having issues with games installed onto an NTFS partition. I don't remember if it was an issue with some specific software, such as Wine/Proton or Steam, just a general Linux issue (maybe symlinks?), or if I was trying to do something weird... Either way, I ended up needing to create a separate partition with a Linux filesystem for the games.
Last I checked, there isn't any easy way to get Linux filesystem drivers on Windows, and even then, I don't know if it would run games from there. So, if nothing else, you might end up needing storage space dedicated to installing games only for Linux.
