  • Sounds like you’re using nginx proxy Manager, a web based frontend for nginx. If so, you have to edit your existing host, change to custom locations, add one with “/” as the address and the same containername and port. Then click the cogwheel in this entry to open a text box for custom rules. You can paste the following lines into there:

    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    




  • Regarding Dropbox: Where are you seeing 9 TB for 20 $? I’m in the EU so my pricing may vary, but all I can see is the Business plan for 16 € per month per user, with a minimum of 3 users in the plan, making it cost 48 € instead. Do you have access to something else?

    Regarding Backblaze: Agreed that 50$ a month is a rough bill to pay, that sums up very fast if youre counting across the years. But their storage is also a lot more reliable than one single hard drive stored in a bank locker, with them always checking their arrays and replacing aged drives.

    Regarding Scaleway: If im reading their pricing chart right, it would cost roughly 2 € / month / TB for glacier storage, and 9 € / TB when restoring from glacier to standard storage? A big questionmark for me is how ingress works. If I’m using this for backups in case of total system failure, i’ll want to upload differential backups (borg/duplicati) every couple days. How is that going to work with pricing, is that all running through standard storage driving up monthly cost, do I have to manually manage file history and deletion of older stuff or does my backup software handle that? Plus, you loose out on the instant file access that you get with Backblaze, or with something hacky like Dropbox / Onedrive. I’m still undecided which I value more, money or fast access.



  • Yesnt. I know that I can run the apps I want on the homelab, have them expose their port in the local network, connect to my tailnet whenever I need access and use the homelabs local address plus port to access it. But that implies needing to connect to my tailnet whenever I want to access my service. Which is not something I can easily tell my larger family to do if I wanted to provide them with movies or a photo backup solution. So I’m trying to find a method that doesn’t require a tailnet connection, which is why I was thinking of the VPS.
