Looking for advice/sanity check on small server schema
New to this subreddit. Been hosting some personal projects and stuff for a few years without really planning anything. Now I am at a point where I need to expand the current setup to include quite a lot more stable services and improve overall stability when performing upgrades or adding new services. As such I have tried to draw up a schema of what I want to set up and would be glad if more experienced server hosters could point out the biggest possible issues.
Here is the poorly drawn schema
So far I have been manually creating virtual machines on an Ubuntu Server install but would like to migrate to a easier tool so was planning on Proxmox unless there is a better alternative?
The main server would host only VM management software. As I understand Portainer can be used to manage Docker instances within other VM-s as well so that is why I set it to be on the main server as well, so there would be one single place to handle all/most Docker containers.
There are several virtual machines in the schema for compartmentalization.
One for ingress management which would have one of the physical networking ports passed through to it in the hopes that this would limit access to main server hardware. Open to suggestions on what reverse proxy is the best/easiest. So far I have only used NginX and have not used SSL but want to add SSL support to public pages. Also any suggestions for what tools to add for security management are welcome.
One of the VM-s is planned for LAN media sharing so this will basically be the NAS (since I currently don't have and am not planning on getting a separate physical machine for this). Was planning on passing through the HDD-s to it so any RAID setup would stay in the VM and would be easier to migrate if needed.
The other VM-s will mostly run Docker containers. They are split up mostly by intended use. One is for personal stuff, one for business and one for testing out new stuff.
Any and all criticism and suggestions are welcome.

Self hosted platform for expense tracking and trending?
I’ve seen the offering of FireFly III , which has I think everything I need... but I saw some comments that there will never be predictive trends/future expenses.
The things I am shooting to track:
* Heating Oil usage and cost (how much oil was consumed over time period, cost, and delivered gallons)
* Electricity usage and cost
* Water / sewer usage and cost
Have a few other odds and ends I’d like to track that are related to other life stuff.
Thanks for any replies.

Photo gallery - arm32
Hi guys!
I have an arm32 based SBC where I would like to self host a simple photo gallery on my own.
I found some beautiful projects but all of them require a 64bit architecture that I don't have.
Is there a software available to selfhost that can be run on my server? (1Gb Ram, 1.5Ghz quad core arm)

Help with understanding docker vs running containers vs clusters
I have a pi 3b+ running with some services, pihole, zerotier, nextcloud.
So far I have just curled each of these to install these on bare metal.
I think my question is, Is there a benefit to using containers when you only have one server; Or do docker and clusters go hand in hand (which is what I seem to find when searching for tutorials)
I feel like I understand the intent of docker. You can dl and run a containerised version of a service instead of having to run it on bare metal; and this containerisation expands its usefulness once you start managing a cluster of servers and need to be able to dynamically run containers across all your different servers.
Thanks

Luke smith's email script
A while ago i posted here asking how hard it would be to setup an email server and serveral people made good points on how hard it would be to setup correctly and to keep it working right. But i recently gound luke smith's emailwiz script and although i havent tried it, it seems like a good solution to get started. Has anyone ever used this?

2021 solution for internet TV channel ?
How I define "internet TV channel":
1. You go to a website. It's got exactly one video playing on it.
2. There is just one video 'state'. All viewers are watching the same thing (no pause or rewind).
3. No archives, chat, etc. It's just a stream of a single video channel.
4. It doesn't matter if it's live video, or pre-recorded. There's just one video with a single 'state' at any given time.
There seem to be many solutions on this sub-reddit to self-host something like this.
However, all of these calculate bandwidth required as: (number of users * video bitrate)
I can understand this bandwidth calculation if there were multiple videos on the server, and users were allowed to play different videos and have different 'states' (i.e. pause, rewind etc.) . However, if all users are watching the exact same video in the exact same state, something tells me that there must be a low-bandwidth solution waiting to be discovered.
Thoughts?
(Skill-level / resources-available: I have set up a Linux web server at home, and am willing to go with something like DigitalOcean if necessary. Am cool with Docker.)

a new wiki for self-hosted info
Hey fellas and ladies, I stumbled across this podcast called "Self-Hosted"...the name is surprising I know... and its really good. It has a ton of great topics surrounding all things self-hosted and after listening to it... I feel like these guys are my people.... I've been really digging it. They also host a couple of good wikis and websites that have tons of great info also. I love it and wanted to share it.

How to monitor docker containers?
So i just started playing around with grafana, prometheus and cadvisor. And I was wondering if someone on here can point me in the right direction.
I would like to monitor if specific containers are online or offline and since when. I found a way to monitor running containers with cadvisor, but I have no idea how to collect data from all containers.
Also is it possible to monitor containers which have a specific label or are part of a stack? Ideally I would like to add a label to a container, which marks the container status to be displayed in a grafana dashboard. For example if I deploy a webapp I label the container with something like "private-project" and then I open grafana and I see the uptime and health of all my private projects in a dashboard.

Audiophile music server/player
In a few weeks I am finally putting together a proxmox server. I ordered all my parts over a period of time and finally everything has arrived, so in a few weeks I will finally put it together and start hosting some stuff. I think I have everything covered, except for music. I will be running Nextcloud on this thing, and I know that has a music application, but from what I have heard it doesn't deal well with larger libraries, also it doesn't have all the features I require.
I have an alright sized music library (in CD quality flacs and some even higher) and I would love to be able to access them via an (opensource) app or web-client on any device. I currently use the FIIO music app on my phone for local music, one of my favourite features of this application is the fact that it shows the quality of the track (example).
I have been trying to find an open source alternative to FIIO music that has the same functionality, but allows me to host the music somewhere central.
I have seen Volumio as an option, but I am not quite sure I get it, from what I have got from it, I can only host it on a Pi, is there a way of hosting it on proxmox, or am I just being wildly naive.
Are there any other simular options.
Thanks for the help!

Having trouble getting Wiki.js running next to NextCloud.
I am trying to get wiki.js up and running on the same box as my NextCloud install.
The box is an intel nuc with Ubuntu Server 20.04 running. I have NextCloud installed and running perfectly. The wiki.js install was smooth and had no hiccups. Including the configuration on port 3000. I have setup a sub domain pointing at each web folder 'cloud..com' to '/var/www/nextcloud' and 'wiki..com' pointing to '/var/www/wiki.js'. These are working just fine, my cloud is available at cloud..com and when i toss an index.html in wiki.js it is available via the internet.
The issue i see is when attempting to start wiki.js manually by 'sudo node server' i get the error 'Port 80 is already in use'. Now i know that i should be able to resolve this myself but am having a tough time figuring it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Container deploys correctly, but when I'm trying to log in with credentials provided in variables: GUAC_USER and GUAC_PASS it says: Invalid Login. I also tried to change their values to custom and redeploy, but still I cannot log in.

Looking for self hosted job scheduling software
So a couple months ago I have joined a repair cafe, where people can come once a month with broken appliances or other things and a team of volunteers try to fix as much as possible to reduce waste and help the people out. Since covid there hasn't been a cafe for some time, but since a small amount of visitors is still allowed, an online repair cafe is being set up, where people can sign their broken appliance up and then one of the volunteers can come over to try and repair it.
The current plan is to have a excel sheet online where the jobs will be manually placed, everyone will get a message and then whomever wants can sign up for it on the excel sheet. I was thinking this could be made a lot nicer using my own server and some cool selfhosted software, but I haven't been able to find anything for this yet. I have already checked the awesome selfhosted github page, but most software seems to be made for big projects where multiple people work together and not for small jobs where people can sign themselves up for.
So I was hoping any of you would be know something suitable and would be able to help me out. Thanks in advance!

BLASPHEMOUS QUESTION
Hello everyone,
The time has unfortunantly come. I am giving in to the convinience of Google. I am officially selling my soul to the big G. I don't have time to deal with my nextcloud server anymore and my internet has been downgraded to unusable levels.
Therefore, I'm trying to move all my files (\~200gb) to Google Drive. Apparently Gdrive on linux doesn't work anymore.
Q: How do I efficiently move this huge directory to Google Drive?
I'm running Ubuntu Server 20.04LTS, with a decent 40Mb/s connection. Quad core Xeon, 16GB ram, 2x2TB 7.2k mirrored ZFS storage.

Nextcloud tech tip. By default, at least with mine, Nextcloud will never delete anything if it doesn't think it needs the space. If you want it to automatically clear out old file versions and old files in the trash, you need to add directives to the config.php file.

Single-click/drag-n-drop with restricted upload (so that only me could upload files) and expiration date.
Hi, I am searching a Single-click/drag-n-drop app with restricted upload and expiration date.
This means that I would be the only one that can upload files and then anyone with the link should be able to download them and with automatic deletion after expiration.
The idea is to install this service in a VPS with small storage space and expose it to the internet in order to send files to friends and such. Since the space will be limited these files need to be automatically deleted after the expiration date.
I have searched (awesome-selfhosted) but I did not find a solution that has the following features:
Only the admin can upload files
Files have an expiration after which they get deleted from the server
Public link sharing
Light on the server
Other optional features that I would like but that are not required:
Password protection to download files
Encryption of the files so that they are not stored in a plain format in the server
An admin interface to see currently saved files where I could delete them, extend the expiration, ecc.
Ideally I could create multiple users that can upload files
​
I have explored the following solution but they don't tick all the boxes:
1. Nextcloud:
1. Definitely not Light
2. Not intended for this purpose
3. Files don't autodelete after expiration
2. ProjectSend: this is the most close solution at the moment but...
1. According to this there is currently no way to auto delete files after expiration
2. According to this encryption is not currently supported
3. YouTransfer: anyone can upload files
4. psitransfer: this is a good solution too but...
1. No encryption
2. The admin interface is really basic, from the screenshot on the repository it seams that you cannot delete or edit uploaded files
Overall I think ProjectSend and psitransfer could both do what I ask and I know I cannot have the perfect software for my specific needs but I wanted to explore other applications.
