I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Oh ok thanks. I do like the idea of access from anywhere... I'm guessing a VPN would be needed on the server and phone? Or is this a whole big thing?

Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff

Or Cloudflare tunnels

[-] chrono@apollo.town 1 points 1 year ago

yeah but I kinda dislike cloudflare. Tailscale is based on wireguard which is cool

[-] hroderic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cool, I've heard of it but never really looked into it. I'll give it a try.

It depends on how secure you want to get with it. You could just host it with any of the hosting providers and have it public - or you could have it behind a vpn on that server

If you were hosting it at home, you’d likely want to restrict access to behind a vpn. No sense advertising your network is any more interesting than it needs to be
