With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality. I got docker installed simply by following Docker's docs.

Any thoughts or uses for a mobile homelab? What would be useful to have mobile?

I want to compare the security of running my own:

• Wireguard server
• http proxy
• socks5 proxy
• Shadowsocks proxy

I currently port forward for wireguard, but would like some backups/alternatives, and censorship circumvention options. How risky or insecure are these protocols? Can I use them as normal VPNs into my homelab?

Any resources to research further?

Also: should I use my IP, or a domain? Which is better for censorship circumvention?

The idea being; I can use a normal wireguard VPN from anywhere in the world to connect back to my homelab, all while being able to access stuff on my network, but also have my public IP address set by the gluetun container?

Anyone done this? Or have a docker conpose?

I have a collection of my docker composes and configs. I would like to have the ability to remotely (over Tailscale) deploy and manage remote servers.

This isn't necessarily for redundancy, but I would like an automated way to test and deployments.

I want to make a seperate homelab at my parents that I can remotly manage for them. I have multiple servers at home, so having all of the config in a git repo, and having my secondary computer use the test branch would be super nice.

My ideal scenario:

So say I want jellyfin. I make a compose and config on the test branch. It automatically applies to my test server. Once I confirm it works, it goes to the master branch. Then it gets applied to the production servers.

Can this be done? If so, can Forgejo actions do it?

I am wanting to automate some homelab things. Specifically deploying new and updating existing docker containers.

I would like to publish my entire docker compose stacks (minus env vars) onto a public Git repo, and then using something to select a specific compose from that, on a specific branch (so I can have a physical seperate server for testing) automatically deploy a container.

I thought of Jenkins, as it is quite flexable, and I am very willing to code it together, but are there any tools like this that I should look into instead? I've heard Ansible is not ideal for docker compose.

Not torrenting, but searching.

I want a way to find similar media to the media I like.

Something with a similar to Jellyseer, with a way to browse media.

Is there a way to setup an SMB share or similar via docker? I want to be able to easily turn it off and bind it to a specific folder, and I am comfortable with docker.

Thanks!

I host Crafty Controller (docker) on my desktop, because it is faster than my server. However, I'd like it for a MC server to be always running, so I don't need to power on my desktop for anyone to join.

Minecraft runs fine on the server, as long as there aren't many people on, and aren't exploring new chunks. Generating new chunks is very cpu intensive, but one person exploring can be fine and is acceptable. However, I want a way to switch the same server to run on my desktop, nice and fast.

So basically, it of the time I want MC running on my server, and then when multiple people are playing (including me) I want to be able to turn off the server, and then turn it back on at my desktop.

I use NPM for my domain and SSL, however it'd be fine if people access at serverIP:port and desktopIP:port. That is acceptable (doesn't need to be mc.example.com, but would be nice)

Would Syncthing be the tool to use? I could use it to sync the folder of Crafty to each computer...

I have a 2 bay NAS, and I was planning on using 2x 18tb HDDs in raid 1. I was planning on purchasing 3 of these drives so when one fails I have the replacement. (I am aware that you should purchase at different times to reduce risk of them all failing at the same time)

Then I setup restic.

It makes backups so easy that I am wondering if I should even bother with raid.

Currently I have ~1TB of backups, and with restics snapshots, it won't grow to be that big anyways.

Either way, I will be storing the backups in aws S3. So is it still worth it to use raid? (I also will be storing backups at my parents)

Like the title says, I want to replace the IP address in a wireguard .conf file to be a domain instead.

I own a domain through cloudflare, so say I wanted to use vpn.example.org

What DNS record and info do I need to put into Cloudflare? (I am aware I'll need to update it if my ip changes)

Is there any way to host an android app in a web browser?

Ideally with docker, likely all of Android, not just an app, but running just an app would be amazing.
