pms-wiki VS Nginx Proxy Manager

If you want a fully open and free solution, https://perfectmediaserver.com should do the trick.

Alex Kretzschmar from Jupiter Broadcast (Linux Action news, Linux Unplugged, Self Hosted) used to maintain https://perfectmediaserver.com/ as a guide to do this.

I am creating a list of parts for building multi-purpose server that will be running Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 as I am relatively new to Linux and a GUI will ease me into the structure OS as become more familiar with the CLI. Also, I am using perfectmediaserver.com as a general guide. For some context, I also have a gaming PC with some older parts I may donate to the server build. Specifically, I am considering possibly transferring:

Have you looked at the resources here, https://perfectmediaserver.com/

I myself prescribe to the teachings of the IronicBadger(Alex Kretzshmar) from the Self-Hosted podcast and (when I get one setup) intend to follow the guides on his site https://perfectmediaserver.com and use mergerfs to turn a JBOD to a single filesystem and use SnapRAID for redundancy.

I went with this guide https://perfectmediaserver.com/

Trashguides and Perfect Media Server have great setup guides and linuxserver.io has all the docker-compose templates. Good luck!

It's supposed to be a "Perfect Media Server"/NAS/Router/Smart Home Hub/Hypervisor in a Small Form Factor footprint. I want to combine as many appliances as possible into one. Single point of failure is okay, I use the network alone, only I will suffer if any of the services (including Internet) goes down ;). I value less power consumption (0,35€/kWh...) over redundancy currently.

Are there any good tutorials? I’ve read the Perfect Media Server (PMS) series but it’s not that thorough.

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

Nginx Proxy Manager

Take a look at NginxProxyManager. This would give you the opportunity to put everything in the form of service1.domain.com , service2.domain.com ,etc.

Prime example: Nginx Proxy Manager is often recommended in the sub. The latest minor release came with breaking changes (so already ignoring semver). I bet you many people were running on latest and then had broken stuff: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/releases/tag/v2.10.0

I started looking into how to make add dynamic IPs to NPM access lists. I came across a couple of GitHub issues (1, 2) on the topic. It looks like people have solved the problem, but not in a complete way without modifying the NPM docker image. I did not want to do that, so decided looking into writing a separate script.

Here is the (NPM) GitHub issue where the "fork of a fork" image came into existence (lepresidente/nginx-proxy-manager). It has some interesting discussions about the challenges of having NPM and CrowdSec coexist and cooperate.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

Edit: If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager there seems to be open PR for support for proxy protocol https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1882 however in the comments there's a name of repository with this PR merged.
