    Containerized software. The main advantage of this is that every application, or stack of applications, runs in its own ecosystem. You can restart a container whenever without having to reboot your entire system. You can store all data off a container in a volume, so if you hit a snag, you can recreate the container without actually losing any of your configs.

    You can also create networks so that apps run in different subnets than other apps.

    Very simply put, a docker container is like a mini system that runs on your main system.

    Something else I like about docker is docker compose. You can create a container or stack of containers with a single simple YAML file without actually having to install anything yourself. I manage my containers in Portainer.

    You can run nginx in a docker container and define reverse proxies there. That will only require your to open up 443 in your router if you use SSL (which I highly recommend and is simple with Let’s Encrypt)

    Then I’d recommend connecting to your arrs and torrent client in Nzb360 paid edition to manage everything in there.

    As far as safety, well nothing is bulletproof. If they want to get in, they will. Best thing I can recommend is to run your arrs / indexers through a different IP address than your torrent client. But if they want to find you, they’ll find you. Thing is they probably won’t come after you if your ISP doesn’t report you uploading terabytes a day. SSL helps and keeping your arrs behind complex passwords (use a password manager) will keep the server itself relatively safe.

    Unless of course, ISPs in your country suddenly start to crack down on illegal downloading hard.













  • If you haven’t tried them, give Ori a go. I finished Ori and the Blind Forest, it was amazing. Then I went on to Ori and the Will of the Wisps which builds on the first one. So in the first one you’ll be unlocking stuff and in the second one you can still do all those things and some extra stuff you’ll have to select according to the situation.

    Beware though, some of the things they expect you to do can be challenging.

    Play on PC if your monitor supports HDR, otherwise Switch’ll do fine.
