Thank you, this is really helpful, a good place to start.

Yep. Edited. Definitely autocorrect’s fault, not my morning brain fog.

No, actually you’re right. I meant wire guard.

The real answer is, ngnx is a great fit. I already know most quirks of Apache, though, and I don’t necessarily want to pull in another manual to my brain.

I might switch in the future, though. It’d be handy to have that in my pocket.

I’m not using containers, per se, at least not in the docker sense, virtualization is done with is KVM

That’s a really good strategy , thanks!

thanks! It’s hard not to feel out of my depth, it’s been so long. And, it being my own info, not a corp’s protected by insurance, indemnity, mandatory arbitration, and (as a last resort) backups, the stakes feel a little higher.

I like the sound of that!

From the project’s README.md : The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues. When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.

I can’t decide if I’m happy or disappointed that no one suggested I make a Beyowolf cluster.

Thanks for that caveat. I could definitely see myself falling into that

See, this is interesting. I’m out here looking for the new shiny easy button, but what I’m hearing is “the old config-file based thing works really well. ain’t broken, etc.”

I may give that a swing and see.

this looks promising. Seems a little heavy-weight at first glance… How was it to get up and running?

LAN only. I may set up a VPN connection one day but it’s not currently a priority. (edited post to reflect)
