Also be advised that wordpress will attract all the internet to try and hack in, so make sure you keep everything up to date

Would recommend OVH for both domain name and DNS, they have DNS APIs so you can get certificates from lets encrypt with ease. Also you could update your zone when your home IP changes

What your after is DNS fail over or round robin, round robin would be my option as both sites could be independent

Horwood cloud is now on 0.19.6, great job all involved 👍

I would start with a Debian os base, install docker and turn it into a swarm manager. Then look at stacks and how services work, if you find your running your host too hard. You can add a work host and stread out.

Once you have docker swarm running, get portainer running. I use portainer as a visual whats happening on my swarm, but I use the docker cli to start and update all my stacks. I have my stacks in a git repository so that I have a backup and history of what changes I did.

Now your a docker master, of sorts.

Your compose file will pull the image when you run it, from the registry it’s in

I have all external mounts in /mnt, if my container needs to use it then it’s in the compose file to use the local mount.

All my compose and stacks are in a git repo, the repo lives in my home dir and pulled fromy Gogs server. That only I can access.

can confirm nextcloud news alpha is great, as is the mobile app

Thats how I had my setup run, point the volume at NFS

If you have your services in compose files, you can point the volumes to anywhere. Even NFS.

Like the below config

volumes:
   pihole01:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: 'none'
      o: 'bind'
      device: '/mnt/data/docker/pihole01'

I run my own server, not sure on post retention or image size or even number of images. But you can make it so that only you can make communities, you can even make communities admin post only.

I would give the docs a good read and maybe have a look at the GitHub repos

oh, I miss understood how it works. will have a play

do you have a docker image I can play with?

I use Jellyfin, moved from subsonic and its amazing

no, its a different thing

That sounds like a great plan, and a great way to learn how this sort of thing works.

Have a look at OVH, they have very good VPS prices

Why not a private Lemmy instance?

I used TVHeadend in OSMC and found it a pig to setup at first, but it works great once you have it all setup

I have a single network with my jellyfin server and wifi devices, I run Pi-Hole with DNS for internal things and can use Jellyfin while at home or out and about.

In Pi-Hole look for Local DNS Records to add your own suff
