No, I’m currently using Tailscale but have been considering switching to Netbird to not be reliant on Tailscale.
I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

he specified static website, which rules out WP
Oops missed that
EDIT: And I missed Immich too
You don’t have to be successful to get hit by bots scanning for known vulnerabilities in common software (e.g. Wordpress), but OP won’t have to worry about that if they keep everything up to date. However, this is also necessary when renting a VPN from said centralised services.
You can simply set up a VPN for your home network (e.g. Tailscale, Netbird, Headscale, etc.) and you won’t have to worry about attacks. Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.
Ip address doesn’t expose where you live.

Tunnels stop you from opening a port so nothing is exposed openly to the internet1 but it does not keep your ip private2.
This is also incorrect.
This is false. Some ISP’s change IP’s often, but some don’t and sometimes geoip lookups can be really accurate. My IP has remained the same since I moved in, and a geoip lookup results in a coordinate less than a kilometer away. It does matter.
Yes, but if you host a public site it might be a better option, the content is public anyway, and you won’t get doxed if you publish something controversial. It’s a trade-off, between keeping traffic private or keeping your IP private. Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.
I thought ghost was for blogging only
Wouldn’t that be slow?
Yes, but it does expose your own IP address and thus where you live. Tunnels don’t.
You can buy a significantly more powerful and power efficient device for less than $100. It’s not really useful for anything besides nostalgia imo.
There is also a cheaper option with an N100
About 30 watts for a old Lenovo Thinkcentre with a i5-6500T and 8 GB RAM in combination with a DAS and 2x2TB HDD’s. I’m currently waiting for parts for my new server I’m building, a small N100 Mini-ITX board with 4x4TB HDD’s that hopefully has a similar power consumption.
It doesn’t seem to have the webhooks functionality that Portainer has though.
Do keep in mind that you need a SAS controller for that, which can cost between $50-200
There’s a convenient web interface for managing Linux servers called cockpit. I use it myself. You can manage raid devices and add other packages to see historical system stats.
Weird
Have you tried using the linuxserver.io Docker image? It has the latest drivers for hardware encoding included. I couldn’t get HW encoding with the official image to work but this one worked without any manual setup. You still have to forward devices to the Docker container though.
Yes, it seems to be a hit or a miss. I don’t think I live near any central infrastructure or ISP, especially not this specific part of the city.
