Do you have your own domain (like you registered/paid $10/year for it), or you're trying to do it completely free? You have certificates for your domain? In my experience (which isn't much) that will want a secure connection with a valid SSL/TLS (call it what you want) certificate. It MUST resolve to "httpS" in most browsers or you'll get a warning (even in your own house -- the nerve) I have this working (reverse proxy) in pfSense for both local and public and hidden addresses. My time is limited. I'm following this thread. MrGrey.

1) You'll find your family won't like your solution. 2) You'll find your family doesn't want to learn how to do things properly. (Onedrive, Google, Siri, Alexa is soooo much easier). One of the first things I moved to digikam and hated for it. Let them do what they want... BUT... keep the "digital" house secure. MrGrey.

As EDACerton said, the OS runs from RAM. I suspect a fast CPU and, probably more, a fast GPU would make things run faster (visually), but a faster HDD isn't going to do anything to speed up the GUI. Faster Internet (2.5G?) might help some? Just my two cents. MrGrey.

Have you tried GUI upgrade? Just clutching at straws... MrGrey.

My Vaultwarden log shows... [2023-04-21 20:19:32.318][start][INFO] Rocket has launched from http://0.0.0.0:80 [2023-04-21 20:19:33.189][rocket::server::_][ERROR] No matching routes for OPTIONS /.

The [WARN] and [ERROR] repeat every second to infinity after the, "Rocket has launched from http://0.0.0.0:80." Everything seems to be working fine and I've seen others with the same issue (repeated warning and error), but no solution yet. Anyone here have any ideas? MrGrey.

That looks awesome... Why do you need help? MrGrey.

Loose plex. Loose torrents. Use PIA for vpn. Find Usenet. MrGrey.

I only run "stable" 6.11.5... and I would never encrypt drives/volumes because/whatever. Consider this post "bumped" because I want to and I think it should be. MrGrey.

ZFS is best (I invite alternatives). I only have one XFS array in UnRaid and maybe I'm not the best person to give advice. MrGrey.

I've heard a lot about ChatGPT. Is it true? MrGrey.

I would be very uncomfortable with a VM talking to its host. I believe a VM, almost by definition, shouldn't know what is hosting it, no? MrGrey

You've got be befuddled. FTP suggests old school know how. Can modern things like Syncthing not do FTP anymore? MrGrey.

I didn't read your post, but I'm going to suggest: Use Sabnzbd or NZBget is also great (but deprecated, kind of, for bots that don't know better, or beter)... go figure. Happy to help via SSL/TLS/HTTPS/NNTPS/ALS/ALANON/... OK, Trying to be funny. MrGrey.

No... BUT!... You can limit every other "function" that your server must perform. In other words... You can't give Plex more, but you can deny others... Or... You CAN give Plex more by denying others more than they need? I hope that makes sense. MrGrey.

You can't make NordVPN (or any other VPN) a "proxy server" (expect you mean "reverse proxy")? There are TWO (2) types of VPN: ONE (1) is the type people are sold; like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, PIA, TOO many to mention... TWO (2) is the type you setup to "fool" people that you're at home. Two is free and One costs. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. MrGrey.

To each their own, but Wireguard has been shown less secure than some might like. Some choose to support it (as I believe they should) and some choose to not use it (as I believe they should). I have no affiliation with OpenVPN, but you won't believe that now and... To each their own. MrGrey.

You can't make a share "within" a share without taking some "liberties" with SMB. You have to shut down the array to do it (not yet). You have to go to Settings>SMB You have to look at SMB Extras... You might see things there? If you don't, you can make a share like: [rootshare] path = /mnt/user comment = "only do this if you know what you are doing" browseable = no valid users = *you* (your user name) write list = *you* (your user name) Why isn't a password in there?... Get it? (There isn't a password because you already have root) I'm pretty sure I haven't been clear enough about this, but it's too damned easy if you have access (which you do); to shoot yourself in the foot (if you want to). MrGrey.

What brand of USB?... MrGrey.

First... I know about the storm (feeling for you folks out east). Second... You shouldn't have to shut down the server; it should shut itself down, properly, when power is running out. I've had this happen three (3) times with my system for various reasons. If you're sure the drive is good then, maybe, it's the cable to that drive? I haven't read the entire thread properly, but I hope this helps. MrGrey.

Can you get a USB drive and copy stuff to it? I'm going to say "no". Be happy/thankfull that you can get stuff off the drive. An SSD would give you sh*t/nothing. I hope you save everything and expect you'll save all but a bit (and the bit won't matter). MrGrey.

You choose

I like Seagate drives right now. Is that too simple? MrGrey.

World Backup Day means uploading everything you know/have/believe to "the" cloud of your choice so it can be disseminated and gathered to make the world a better place without you in it. Or... You can just backup your kids photos and hope your spouse can find them without using Google. MrGrey.

I prefer Emby. MrGrey.

I remember Wiregaurd being brought into, and out of, pfSense (for good reason). At the time, I went to OpenVPN. You don't need duckdns. What do you want to do? MrGrey.
