And has been since 2016-17 ish. I’ve used these solutions. They ran Ubuntu.

It’s an RSS reader. Reviews are extremely positive. It collects no data. App has thoughtful configurations, adding subscriptions is smooth and I made it work for me.

FreshRSS backend and Lire (iOS)

Love it! Well worth the app purchase I couldn’t be happier with my setup.

I think what you’ll find is HomeKit’s best feature is being a front end for home assistant. Which is where most people end up on their journey.

Maybe because of my background, but I’ve never had an issue standing up or maintaining a Nextcloud instance. Especially since the AIO release. Hell, I was shocked how easy it was to migrate.

I’m not saying it’s the best software, but it’s always just worked. I’ve been using it since I dropped own cloud for the nextcloud fork. What common issues are people having with the infrastructure?

I have to admit, I’m a bit confused.

I have dns records already in my domain provider pointing to a tailscale ip

I want to know what I have to do to get minecraft.example.com to resolve interenally.

Since your domain resolves to an internal private Tailscale IP and your question is how to access using the domain, locally…. I feel like there’s an error in your architecture here. Wouldn’t any device that is on your Tailscale private network already have access using the domain name? If by “resolve internally” you mean hosts on your LAN, not connected to Tailscale scale? How would that be possible if it resolves to a Tailscale IP. If you have control of your DNS on your LAN, you could simply add an override and point it to the LAN address of the Minecraft server.

it’d be nice to be able to use a domain instead.

If your looking to access it outside your LAN, you’re gonna want to open up the correct ports on your router’s firewall.

How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale

I think it’s very important to separate a random “VPN” solution to using Tailscale.

instead of being able to access the service directly?

Focusing on Tailscale. Who turns off Tailscale? It is “directly” connecting to your service or app or whatever. That’s the whole point.

Gittea and Forgejo both have self hosted container registries.

Your network is probably configured with inconsistent subnets / netmasks. iOS / Android are on WiFi and getting a different subnet/netmask than your severs.

Edit: What does pinging the server with nmap mean? Are you checking open ports or pinging the server? That doesn’t make sense or at least leaves us with more questions with the way you worded that. Although the nmap utility can provide both of those answers, I’m not sure that’s what you meant.

HTPC MythTV Kodi

I first started my journey with an ATI All in Wonder somewhere around 1997. I thought, wow this is cool. I can plug my computer into a TV!

From that point on I was determined to build the perfect media center as technology improved and allowed it. But there was always a catch.

TV

First of all, cable companies hated those tuners. They always had issues. Then channels started to become “encrypted” and wouldn’t work with the tuner. Then you needed special tuner from the cable company but they would do everything they could to avoid giving you one. Then eventually I gave up on TV.

Digital Video

**** divx enters the chat **** What a time! Now we’re cooking. My media center can play digital videos! I have a collection and XBMC is awesome! I even have a remote! Life is great! Netflix is awesome and they keep sending me DVDs and I keep ripping em.

Streaming Video

Netflix is now streaming! And look, there’s a plugin for it. It works… kinda … sometimes? Let the battle begin between XBMC plugins and streaming providers.

Move from XBMC to kodi to Plex I was one of the first early adopters of Plex. Lifetime pass member going on 13 years now. I eventually picked up a HDHomerun device and added OTA TV to my media center.

Family

I had a decent workflow and ways to get everything working from my media center. Streaming services work arounds plugins. Loved it. But it wasn’t exactly family / wife friendly. Well it was until it wasn’t. Somewhere around 2013 I cut my loses and threw in an Apple TV and loaded it with Plex. Now I had the best of both words. Streaming services just work ( at the proper quality I was paying for ) and my life long collection of video was accessible with a single click.

That’s where I am now. Except I’m rocking Jellyfin. Streaming services are hard requirement in this house and this is where I settled. I’m very happy with the AppleTVs and my setup. It’s has “just worked”, every time, for everyone in the family, for well over a decade.

All of my TVs have never seen an internet connection. I know the Apple hate is strong, but I’ve been throwing ATVs behind them since they were first released. No ads, no BS. Just a very clean experience that has never changed.

prometheus and grafana … seems to be the universally accepted solution for self-hosted monitoring

Not exactly. There are many ways to do this. Most of us just use this solution because its easily scalable, highly documented and what we are probably already doing currently at work.

all built into one container

It’s nice to separate data sources from the dashboards and alerting platforms. It’s scalable and extremely light weight and gives you more options.

On top of prometheus not seeming useful on its own …

Yeah, that’s just not always true. Maybe for you, in your use case.

Installing a Prometheus node exporter gives you an easily accessible end point with JSON data that can be used however you like. Modularity is a good thing. Being able to swap parts in and out with other parts is a good thing.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, there is not an exact correct answer here, use what fits your needs. While I have a dash board setup in grafana, it’s not my main use case. Since the data is available from all the node-exporters on all my hardware, I wrote up my own alerting scripts and automations using python.

That’s the beauty of modularity and standards when self hosting.
