I mean the only interesting data sent is the mac address, android phones spoofs that by default, using a separate mac adress for every network and on a debian based distro you can use https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/macchanger if you wanna spoof it when using your computer in the networks owned by others.

Gonna check it out!
Is it easy to setup automatic responses to the alerts, f.e. restarting a service if it isn’t answering requests in a timely manner?
Have you used it together with Windows Servers too?

There are private GPT solutions coming, f.e. https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/data-transformation/data-driven/ai-test-drive/
They are aimed at companies that for compliance reasons want to self host.

I wouldn’t trust an llm solution with sensitive information unless I host it myself.

I’ve used SNMP a lot together with nagios so I should be able to handle it. :D

I’ll have a look! Cheers!

Cheers! I’ve heard of Prometheus/Grafana but VictoriaMetrics was a new one. Gonna look into it!

For signal I imagine you’ll find the best answers here:

The simple solution is to use another cloud, such as proton drive mentioned below.

Another more technical solution is to setup a vpn at home and use vpn + smb to share files with your phones, this one fails if your computer isn’t always online at home or if your internet provider runs CGNAT.

Your computer could be replaced with a selfhosted solution as nextcloud running on separate hardware, but now we’re firmly in selfhosting land.

The VPN home could be replaced with a VPS that both your home network and mobile devices connect to as a CGNAT workaround.

The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle says that getting another cloud storage is the way to go. If you truly wanna own your cloud then a trip to selfhost land it is.

" in" appears 25 times on the page to be exact, with 16 of those being in the table of contents and 9 being in the text afterwards.
“in” appears 54 times, as you know end up hitting “string” and so on.

Had I known that the functions table of contents was as short as it is I would probably have just scrolled.

After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
And for learning postgresql I agree it isn’t very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.

I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.

Your result returns version 9.0 that went EOL 2021, same as Googles fourth result in OP.
nvm, second result is correct.

I definitely feel the pain when it comes to worthless results nowadays. Though in this case DDG comes through:

Adding documentation to the search makes the “correct” page soar to the top:

I consider client devices to be a big risk factor and if I can keep them from having direct access to the Backup NAS and the IoT I consider that a big win. A simple ransomware attack on a client device would find any NFS/SMB shares the client can access and start encrypting - having the Backup NAS on a separate VLAN that only the server can access stops most of those from affecting the backup and makes restoring a lot easier. I would definitely recommend having an offline backup of the NAS as well in case of the server being breached.

I agree with this, protecting everything behind a VPN is the way to go. I help friends setup their vpn client to my stuff if I want them to access an internal service.

• Single switch, yes. Personally I would probably aim for a managed (must have for vlan support) switch with at least 16 ports where 8 has PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) with at least 100W total budget. The goal would be to power access points and that security camera through PoE instead of separate psus.
  A cheaper alternative is to skip PoE for now and buy an 8-port managed switch now and a secondary PoE switch in the future if need be.
• There are access points with VLAN support, so you can have an access point deliver multiple SSIDs that belong to different VLANs. Two things to look for here is Local Management and PoE powered. You don’t want your access points to become paper weights when the cloud management system is shut down. I don’t want to use cloud management at all to be honest.
• PoE allows you to protect your camera and your APs with the same UPS you put in to protect your network rack.

Draw up some plans beforehand, quick example where I forgot your video doorbell that would be on a separate SSID/VLAN through the APs if it uses WiFi. Which is kind of the point with drawing it up. It helps you find out what you missed.

edit: And that is just an example on how to draw it up. I imagine you want your security camera and doorbell to save video on the NAS, so then their vlan need to be able to communicate with the NAS vlan, as another example of missing stuff in the drawing.

If you go for SSD another thing to think about is the TBW on them. Buying a low endurance SSD might save some electricity but will cost more in SSDs over time. Example:
Crucial P3 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD 2TB (2.67W on your link) has 440TBW compared to Kingston Fury Renegade M.2 NVMe SSD Gen 4 2TB (4.92W on your link) with 2000TBW.
Those few watts you save on using the Crucial P3 Plus will be less than the extra cost in buying new SSDs earlier.
The site I checked TBW on has the Kingston Fury at $9.4 more than the Crucial P3 Plus.

I think proper datacenter 3.5’’ HDDs will give you the most efficient Wattage per TB disk space
Seagate Exos X20 Harddisk ST20000NM007D 20TB SATA-600 7200rpm is supposed to have
Power Consumption 5.4 Watt (idle) | 9.4 Watt (random read) | 6.4 Watt (random write)

While it’s assigned public address, it’s only used inside the private DoD military network. Try tracerouting to that address space, you’ll see that your packets go nowhere.
Using dod address space in your vpn service means you will never conflict with the RFC 1918 private IPv4 addresses people use at home.

Regarding management UIs I’m a fan of Cockpit (https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit https://cockpit-project.org/)

Regarding management UIs for docker I believe most use either portainer (https://github.com/portainer/portainer https://www.portainer.io/) or dockge (https://github.com/louislam/dockge https://dockge.kuma.pet/).

Regarding Samba most NAS devices simplify it a lot, but it isn’t that complicated to do on Fedora either and once you’ve got it setup it’s not gonna need a lot of tinkering. (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/samba/)

Whether you invest in a NAS or not I recommend you invest in a USB disk large enough to act as a backup for the storage disks. That’s not an investment for later but one you want right away. And do make certain it takes backups, not replicates data. A popular option is Borg Backup (https://github.com/borgbackup/borg https://www.borgbackup.org/)
If I went for a NAS I would Borg Backup the laptop to the NAS and then use the NAS own backup software to backup to the USB.
