My backup service runs pg_dumpall, then borg create, then deletes the dump.

I mainly take it with me on vacation, I prefer keyboard/mouse when I can use it.

The Nextcloud Windows client does VFS and there’s an experimental Mac client that does VFS.

If you can connect it to the SBC, yeah. This one comes with a PCIe card and you connect it with SAS cables (it unfortunately only does SATA for the drives though). The disks show up as separate independent devices and you can just combine them with mdraid or whatever.

There’s also a USB C variant of it but that seemed more sketchy to me.

I bought a QNAP TL-D800S disk shelf (it does have 8 slots and not 5) and an old used Fujitsu Esprimo on eBay. That means I can replace the PC with something more powerful in the future if I need to without having to worry about the disks. Works great so far with the 5 disks I have in it and the two stack on top of each other perfectly.

Yeah, tunnelbroker.net is what I use. It works behind NAT too, and they even give you a /48! For free!

To be clear I wouldn’t mind paying for guaranteed speeds because the he.net tunnel can be a bit slow at times. My problem with this is that they don’t give you a /64 which basically makes it useless for anything but the “host a couple services” use case. Most people who would consider this, including me, probably don’t have IPv6 connectivity from their ISP at all and would like to get routable IPv6 address space for their home network.

$10 per month and all you get is 5 IPv6 addresses (I assume that’s what they mean by “5 Static Visible IPv6 Tunnels”)? What a shameless scam.

Edit: Though maybe you’re paying for the “Tier-1 (as in ISP?) Bandwidth”. But if they want me to take them seriously, they need to give me a /64 prefix instead of a measly 5 addresses.

IPv6. Just let the other network through the firewall, use direct connections, no overcomplicated tunnel setup needed.

The software Wikipedia runs on is called Mediawiki. And yes, you can self-host it.

You can check for being an open relay with tools like this one: https://mxtoolbox.com/diagnostic.aspx

Sounds like network namespaces.

Join the Matrix support channel if have any problems getting started! The documentation can be very scattered and NixOS throws a lot of new concepts at you :P

KMyMoney is what I use. (Though I haven’t kept it up to date for way too long)

I’m not familiar with what exactly you need but have you taken a look at KMyMoney? (Or is this for accounting for an actual company and not for yourself? Not sure how it holds up there)

I use distro packages. In the rare case something isn’t packaged yet, I package it myself. And for the isolation, systemd services can do most of the things docker can if you need (check systemd-analyze security).

For just hosting services that can be done instead with normal system services, docker makes your setup a lot more complex (especially on the networking side), for little if any gain. Unless I need to spin up something multiple times temporarily on demand or something has a hard dependency on it, I’m not going to bother with it anymore.

Right, exactly.

Fastmail looks like they have CalDAV and CardDAV support (https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000278342-Server-names-and-ports). If you actually want to use their contacts and calendar, why do you want to host another yourself? Two-way sync sounds like a pain.

You just need to connect your devices to it. Unfortunately Google thinks PIM sync is not worthwhile to have on Android unless you use their service, so you’ll need some extra apps. I used DAVx5 (it’s free if you get it from F-Droid), Tasks.org and OneCalendar in the past for this.

tunnelbroker.net since I don’t have static IPv6 currently. Otherwise, that.

PeerTube can do this (yes, out of the box!).
