Thank you again for the response. The summary is very helpful too.

It looks like I don’t need the reverse proxy, since the sensitive services* support authentication and HTTPS.

I would need the lighttpd service to be available over unsecured HTTP too, but if that’s not possible I could always use a different subdomain.

“The Chinese spying” - As opposed to the American spying?

That is such a clear explanation and makes a lot of sense, thank you again.

Since the services I’m interested in serving are authenticated then it sounds like HTTPS is what I need (which is what originally made the most sense to me). That’s a relief. I just need to figure out how to have separate HTTP and HTTPS services hosted from the one ARM service.

Thanks! Is the point of reverse-proxying your public-facing services to make them private?

I have a general idea. I appreciate the info :). I’ve made a point of having nothing sensitive in the contents or the requests (I don’t have any forms, for example. It’s all static pages).

Thank you for the very informative reply.

The HTTP and Gemini services are for vintage clients, but I would like the reverse proxy to keep my media collection private (and maybe SSH and SMB too). So I’m serving to modern clients in the case of reverse proxy. I was told that port forwarding is no longer considered secure enough and that if my media gets publicly exposed I could be liable for damages to license holders.

Linux running HTTP and Gemini servers. This is fine from home using port forwarding and afraid.org’s dynamic DNS.

They’re lightweight sites that exist to be accessed by vintage computers which aren’t powerful enough to run SSL.

That’s reassuring. Thanks, I was struggling with the concept and where to start but I should be fine now since I’m handy enough with a terminal.

Wonderful. Thank you!

Thanks, that’s a great explanation. I’m looking forward to being able to SSH in without port forwarding.

So those ports that I don’t put in the config remain publicly accessible? That would be perfect.

I’m happily serving a few websites and services publicly. Now I would like to host my Navidrome server, but keep the contents private on the web to stay out of trouble. I’m afraid that when I install a reverse proxy, it’ll take my other stuff ~~online~~ offline and causes me various headaches that I’m not really in the headspace for at the moment. Is there a safe way to go about doing this selectively?

I exported a Wordpress site as a static site and have been hosting that on Gitlab. I'd like to start updating the blog again and I'm wondering how to go about it.

For the blog, I've been adding/coding the entries manually, which I still prefer to using Wordpress. Now I have someone who needs to take over the blog and I need something more simple for them.

I've looked into DropInBlog ( https://dropinblog.com ) but it's way beyond our budget, so I've been thinking to either:

  • Give them git access and let them add a text file and image to a special directory when they want to post. Then I can have a script run a few times per hour which converts that into a blog post. I'd also need to update the blog index with my own code.

  • Let them use something RSS based with a nice interface and scrape that to generate the blog. Mastodon is one option, as is Wordpress. Ideally the blog they maintain would not be accessible to others on the web though. I don't want to split our SEO presence.

Does anyone have a better suggestion? The website doesn't use a framework like Jekyll or any of those. It's just HTML, CSS and JS.

I've tried a few options over the years, including SMB and NFS, XBMC as well as HTML with javascript I found online.

I don't have a large collection of music (fewer than 100 albums), so hand coding things was actually one of the quicker options to setup. That's despite then hassle of hand coding the URL to each FLAC file as well as the album art. But sometimes the javascript doesn't handle large collections of FLAC and each implementation I tried had different quirks so I've sunk a lot of time into that in other ways without a satisfactory result.

I've heard of Emby, Jellyfin, Plex, Roon and Servio. I just need something that's simple to set up and access. I don't need fancy features beyond the ability to play the music with a pleasant UI that can be accessed from the web (HTTP, not HTTPS). I'd be running this from a Raspberry Pi 3B which already has the lighttpd server running.

I'm also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

Any recommendations for an uncomplicated way to approach to doing this?

Edit: Thanks so much for the helpful and enthusiastic comments! I tried Navidrome and had it up and running in ten minutes thanks to this tutorial video: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=7V5UUJlSknY

I had to install docker-compose on the RPi. Then I got an error which turned out to be because I also needed a separate docker daemon which I installed following these instructions: https://www.simplilearn.com/tutorials/docker-tutorial/raspberry-pi-docker

In just 10+ minutes I had my music collection accessible from all my devices - thanks again!

I’m interested in different perspectives so I’d like to avoid USA, GB etc.

I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples.

Bonus points if it’s free. I see one on coursera that runs for four hours per week for several months which works out at roughly over €100 https://www.coursera.org/specializations/logic-critical-thinking-duke

I'm used to seeing articles about AI being used for either highly scientific uses or for generating semi-entertaining nonsense. For a personal business involving managing appointments, documenting meetings, tracking payments etc, can AI help with any of that? Other things include undertaking CPD training, occasional advertising as well as maintaining a website from time-to-time.

The people I know who don't think AI has any use for them belong in this category and work in the area of mental health, yoga teaching / training, nursing and massage therapy.

As per your guidelines here https://lemmy.world/post/4505404 I'd like to request to care for this sub.

I was walking along and suddenly my character starts coughing violently. Vision starts to fade and she collapses to the ground, dead. There's no text to tell me what happened.

I'm at Lorenz SysTech Spire now but it happened earlier in the game too.

Edit: I figured it out. There's gas coming from the doorway I was beside. The previous time I'm not sure what happened. Maybe my energy just got too low. I thought the health bar was a battery bar for the torch :)
