There are alternatives for LE,not for all things, but for a lot. Afaik not all of them do follow suit.

Basically they underdosed so hard that even 14 year old drug addict does take more - and very likely their stuff didn’t partially work at all, as they put it in tea. So… Most of them did only feel very good/bad/nauseated, some got unconscious.
The crazy part was me coming into that room seeing them and VERY MUCH reconsidering my life choices. I graduated a few weeks backs, just got pissed and spat on the call before and now that. And then panicing a bit and calling dispatch to "send me everything ". Which they did and ended up…a bit much… Like…very much too much.
Can’t remember the name and can’t tell either,sorry. That is a long time ago,20 years+ some.
When I was a freshly graduated paramedic I responded to a attempted mass suicide of a cult.(Around 15 people)
They thought the apocalypse would be coming… By inciting, well, basically an orgy,with all sexual inhibitions falling and humans sinning beyond belief. While some of their fears were at least somewhat relatable (like fathers laying their hand on their daughters) most of it was batshit crazy. They believed they need to kill themself before that happens so they would still get into heaven.
…they fucked that up,massively,as well. None died.
If you are in Europe: Pocketbook.
Reasonably open plattform, good support, works with almost everything.


Yeah,Netbox is also my main solution, combined with forgejo repo.
Works very well.
Same here - using it on various Nvidia based machines without any issues.


So far that’s not working to much,but development is fast it seems


Basically a book downloader that connects to various sources, mainly Annas archive, and then hands the downloads over to CWA(or booklore). While still heavily under development it works.


Calibre Web Automated and Ephemera. But looking to switch to Booklore some day,just haven’t had the time.


Will very likely down more than Shaheds - more likely to be used for protecting high value rocket based syatems like the IRIS and Patriot. And they get thrown everything at them.
So…


Mealie is far superior to Tandoor,imho.
Basically:
Small proxmox node (Zimablade) that basically does only operate a Proxmox Backup Server for local clients and fast backup.
Offsite ZFS send to a VPS I operate for that purpose. As well as Proxmox Backup Server for VMs,etc. Basically meant as a fast recovery option. (Layer7)
Offsite S3 storage backup to a different provider from above. Meant for a medium term backup. (Hetzner and IONOS)
Portable HD: I have two different portable HDs. One is hooked up to the Backup server, the other one is in a lock box in my banks safe. The “connected one” does a weekly backup (and is switched off in between). Once in a while (around 6 to 12 weeks, with 12 weeks being the hard maximum) I take the active one to the bank and both drives switch places. That provides a full backup. (WD My Book and Seagate Expansion - the differrnt manufacturers are intentional)
Last line of defence: The real real important things (photos of life events-weddings,etc.- important documents,Password DBs) etc.) get burned on a M-disc Archive blue ray. They are also in the bank safe and at a secure third location. They are more meant for “shit hit the fan and I might not be there anymore,but maybe the kids want these”. Additionally they provide a defence against encryption viruses - write once reas many (WORM) has it’s advantages here.
This is another thing to consider: Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens. I operate a private wiki (on an external server) that also gets saved into the M-Discs that has step by step instructions, as they might need to be followed by someone not that tech adept. (Like my In-Laws in case both my wife and I perish.), have notes in my password DB (Vaultwarden, which has a digital heritage/emergency access function and is also exported), in the vault, and a note in my will notifying people about this.
Edit: And: Test your recovery. Almost every data loss I have witnessed in the last years was a recovery problem. Missing encryption keys, data structure issues, etc. I have seen them all. Personally I try to recover a random file (as in: A script tells me which one) twice a year from every method and try a full recovery of each method at least once six month after introduction. Thst being said: It’s nice to have encrypted backups,but that doesn’t help if you can’t find the keys/the software does no longer exist,etc. Currently a LOT of my clients have the same problem: They use Tandberg RDX for backup, including WORM. Now, Tandberg has gone bust and it’s not that unlikely that yhey won’t be able get another RDX drive in 5 or 10 years. Or 20. Which is the legal requirement for some official files here. Well,fuck. They needed to get additional drives asap when the bankruptcy became official.
Friends have used ancient LTOs and now face the same issues - LTOs are not downwards compatible. (That’s why I use “common” technology. It’s extremely likely that I will be able to find a spare BD drive in 20 years,etc.)
It is absolutly possible, but oersonally I would highly recommend getting yourself a proper public domain for that,even if you won’t use it otherwise (it’s even somewhat saver if you use a designated one for it).
To make it really easy get the domain with someome who also provides DNS with it (Hetzner is a solid choice, so are others, has to have an API). (E.g. “mydomain.casa”.)
Now get an internal DNS server that can handle it’s own zones. I always recommend technitium, but there are other choices. Pihole is not a good choice here.
Next thing is a reverse proxy,as you mentioned. If you want it easy, NginxProxyManager is a good choice, but limits what one can do later. But it kind of works out of the box. Traefik and caddy are both often named,but I found none of them as “fire and forget” as NPM is - and caddy can’t do a lot of things either. Traefik is what I currently use,but even using Manatrae or similar GUIs it’s sometimes a pain. But it’s absolutely powerful especially when you run a lot of docker container on the same host. Tbh, if I had not some special requirements I would still use NPM.
Now, what to do? (Not a full manual, more like a ovrview that it’s not that complicated)
For good practice I would recommend to also keep a zone that links directly to the services so you can use that whenever necessary. (mydomain.internal)
Netbox,especially when combinded with Plugins is so incredibly good and might,that’s it’s almost funny how good it is. What I do Plugin wise:
Documents: not implemented yet by me,but one could store manuals,etc. directly within netbox.
Lifecycle and Inventory: While it’s not as good as snipe-it (tbh, inventory is imho one of the worst plugins) it does the job for my small deployment
Slurp it to scan automatically
QR Code for obvious reasons
Floorplan as well
Of course that sounds overkill for a small deployment, but I simply forget too many things after a few months otherwise and it’s something my family (wife is in IT and far more qualified than me) would need if something happens to me,so a proper documentation would be essential for that as well.
