Saltbox VS gluetun

saltbox

There is currently a Hetzner auction dedi with 4x16TB drives for €70. AFAIK, Hetzner would be the cheapest storage option, so even though it's not 70TB, at that price point you're pretty much stuck. You can rent one and install Saltbox or Swizzin yourself, it's pretty easy.

Lot of great suggestions in here. Sounds like you're looking into creating an in-house simplified version of https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox. Worth taking a look at what software they've got support for.

May I introduce you to https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox ?

https://docs.saltbox.dev or https://cloudbox.works

Pair one of those Hetzner boxes with this sweet project and you're laughing. There's really not much I can think of that Saltbox doesn't include. The only downside for some, is it strictly managed via commend line and doesn't have any sort of actual UI. But besides that, you can literally deploy a fully customized media server for streaming and downloading torrents/nzbs as well as hosting all your apps in very little time at all. Their discord community is awesome as well, alot of knowledgable folks there when/if you run into issues and/or have questions.

For example I want to setup a media server for plex and I can’t decide if cloud or a physical one would be cheaper or easier to maintain. Saltbox (https://docs.saltbox.dev/) looks like what I’m looking for it is a script you run that installs and configures everything, you get unlimited storage and can stream from the cloud to your device. But they are vague on a simple matrix of what providers and configurations for different cloud providers people use and more importantly pricing. They say no VPS others say a VPS is fine. Oddly while it looks really up to date and in GitHub and the installation is well documented I can’t tell what’s a setup for data hoarder vs common user. I searched all afternoon on Reddit with little mention of this and I’m guessing there’s a community somewhere who could guide me. I also want CNN, ESPN, FS1 for sports and don’t know if there’s live providers or I should just get cable. Then we’re talking my total bill goes back up to $250.) when I was a kid I watched everything I could get my hands on and paying for all the services for one show once a year is somehow worse than we had big cable bills. I’m sure they’re forums that can help or even things off reddit but I feel this common thing people do would be too greyish illegal for one and second not sticking to mefi rules and just saying “look here it’s kinda of a hidden place” would work.

I have containers a,b,c. Container C is running Gluetun (https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) which is a VPN container.

The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.

One option I could find is Gluetun, which looks very popular and actively maintained. In this case we have one single point of contact with VPN provider. The other containers should be run with network_mode: service:gluetun. If I understand correctly, those container will use VPN for every network operation, even for inter-container communication. Would they be visible for the containers not attached to gluetun (e.g. the SWAG reverse proxy)?

Try setting it up. https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun See if it works for your needs.

After some digging around, I found this project, which I think should get a lot more light on itself. It allows to setup port-forwarding on linux very easily, together with a lot of other things !

I setup Gluetun with qbittorrent in docker. Gluetun connects to the nord via manual login and I get to choose the specific servers I want it to you in its environment variables.

Hi guys, I have a dumb question: according to their github page, one of the features is the killswitch. It is not clear to me whether this would shutdown other containers (connected to it) when vpn drops, or only when the whole internet connection goes down
