Wireguard IS a VPN. He has somehow through his challenges of exposing services to the internet, exposed wireguard from his home to the internet for him to connect to. Then he can connect to his internal services from there.

It’s honestly the best option and how I operate as well. I only have a handful of items exposed and even those flow through a DMZ proxy before hitting their destination servers.

What instance did you go to then? I don’t keep up on “the best” instances, or those that defederate or block certain things. I was part of kbin.social at first, then moved to .world.

Plex is a taboo topic anymore because of their recent business-focused changes. I personally use Plex as I’ve been a user since the early 2000s with no intentions to learn the nuances of Jellyfin, and get my remote streamers moved over to it.

Plex mixed with Sonarr, Radarr and Overseer fits my needs perfectly.

It’s literally maintained by Fedora. Not sure why he claimed that.

After I kbin.socials constant issues I moved to Leemy.world and like it a lot better. I miss magazines as opposed to communities, but it’s pot-ato po-tato and there don’t seem to be any outages.

I’ll raise you one and attach a mount point over iscsi!

I’ve been running mailcow for almost 2 years with no issues. I’m not doing anything major with it, mainly using it to send myself alerts on the environment, but it does work for external purposes if I want it to as well. Updating is easy and seamless. I did get greylisted almost immediately though, so I use SMTP2Go and it works great as a free relay for the amount of mail I generate.
