That's why I've been using Emby. Works just fine for free.

I only use it for reverse proxies. I still find Apache easier for web serving, but terrible for setting up reverse proxies. So I use the advantages of each one.

I updated my comment above with some more details now that I'm not on lunch.

BlackPenguins , 14 days ago (edited 14 days ago) to Selfhosted in Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

Reverse proxy is actually super easy with nginx. I have an nginx server at the front of my server doing the reverse proxy and an Apache server hosting some of those applications being proxied.

Basically 3 main steps:

• Setup up the DNS with your hoster for each subdomain.

• Setup your router to port forward for each port.

• Setup nginx to do the proxy from each subdomain to each port.

DreamHost let's me manage all the records I want. I point them to the same IP as my server:

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ba533f2b-1a6e-421a-bbef-bd39b2d37c98.png

This is my config file:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name photos.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2342;
        include proxy_params;
    }
 }

 server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name media.my_website_domain.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;
        include proxy_params;
    }
}

And then I have dockers running on those ports.

root@website:~$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                          COMMAND                  CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                                                      NAMES
e18157d11eda   photoprism/photoprism:latest   "/scripts/entrypoint…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   0.0.0.0:2342->2342/tcp, :::2342->2342/tcp, 2442-2443/tcp   photoprism-photoprism-1
b44e8a6fbc01   mariadb:11                     "docker-entrypoint.s…"   4 weeks ago   Up 4 weeks   3306/tcp                                                   photoprism-mariadb-1

So if you go to photos.my_website_domain.net that will navigate the user to my_website_domain.net first. My nginx server will kick in and see you want the 'photos' path, and reroute you to basically http://my_website_domain.net:2342. My PhotoPrism server. So you could do http://my_website_domain.net:2342 or http://photos.my_website_domain.net. Either one works. The reverse proxy does the shortcut.

Hope that helps!

Off-site backups that are still local is brilliant.

That's true, but these are also the same people who say they are a 9/10 in Java at career fairs. I've been working in Java for 10+ years and I'd still only consider myself an 8/10 maybe.

Correct. It's mainly used for quick helper methods where you don't need an object context like the Math class. It's also used for class variables like out stream in the System class.

So. Many. People think it means it's a constant variable.

This is our approach when we ask what is system, out, and println in System.out.println(). Just talk it out. Look at capitalization.

We eliminate half our candidates when they can't even answer what is static in Java. Or what is object oriented programming. Ours is less coding tests and more explaining Java concepts.
