Maybe it's ignorance on my part, but my office and the router in the house aren't on the same circuit.

Or, at least they have different sections in the breaker.

House is brand new, put up in 2021

You can TRY power line adapters:

TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter https://a.co/d/0fa6e3f3

Their application can be hit or miss, but mine have been perfect. Had them just under 2 years. Able to get full bandwidth and no discernable latency addition

Aye it's the humanity problem.

Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of "group".

Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.

Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can't, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.

If you start out with things that interest you, you'll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?

From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!

Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!

First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.

Good luck :).

... I blame the kid's sleep regression and my lack thereof.

I'll give this a shot, thanks!

Honestly I'm not super concerned about the contents being public.

As far as a forum/wiki, I'd like it to look like it was meant for this job, those would be a little more on the hefty side just for posting some images/text to.

I would build it myself but I've got a 4 month old. Not a ton of time to sit down in React.

This is close, but I'd like to be able to manually add text to each review (for my benefit really) and general x/y star reviews for them.

Also it really wouldn't need Auth - I'd be the only one actually editing the pages.

 

Hello everyone!

I've had a homelab up for quite a while and would like to expand on that. I'm a major media person and I'm really wanting to put up a website that I can post movie reviews on.

It'll be public, but really it's only for my family/friends connected to my plex server. I'm constantly getting asked for recommendations and would like a centralized place they can look, and I can look back on upon a rewatch.

I'd really like to stay away from WordPress if at all possible - every time I've ever used WP, it always seems extremely slow after plug-ins are added and that's really the only "template" I've seen.

Also, can you pull watch history from plex and display on a site? I've looked quite a bit for the movie Review page but haven't really looked at the plex api. Really looking to pull watch history based on library/genre.

Currently set up with nginx proxy manager.

Thanks folks

Looks like Syteline to me lol.

This is oddly similar to some informal workups I've done for our work network.

Nice work 👍.

Hi. System Admin millennial here.

You would think that's the case, but in my experience it's not.

Millenials were around during a major shift/evolution in general home computer use, so we're much closer to understanding the "flow" of tech, even if it's older. Gen-Z tries to think in smartphone or tablet mode.

Younger Gen-Z are the same as a blue collar boomer: when the company I work for hires a Gen-Z employee, I spend a ton of time with them the first few weeks "fixing" their "broken" machines. Most of the Millenials that are hired can do the general troubleshooting themselves.

I will agree with the music bit though.

I remember when I first used Tor. I was like 14.

Found the silk road when it was still up. Poked around for a bit. Cool.

Next onion site I found was also cp. That image is burned into my skull forever. Uninstalled Tor and never went back. Hard pass.
