Hey y'all!

I am after the colelctive expertise of this fantastic community. My family and i are moving overseas for a year for a pacific adventure, which leaves my hosting setup in a bind. We will be renting out our house and i will need to move all of my 'servers' (read laptop and NAS) out.

All of my services are in docker.

My main services that i MUST keep are:

Immich
- 600Gb or so
- very important as we will be taking a HEAP of photos.
paperless
vaultwarden
custom location tracking service
radicale

I would also like to make it so that all of my media is still available, but i may need to get a set up at a friends house. I have jellyfin plus a bunch of *arr's

I was thinking a mix between at a mates house and a cloud server.

any thoughts?

edit: a lot of my services are exposed publicly, via Nginx proxy manager.

Their IP address is already "exposed to the world." I keep seeing people recommending this pattern in this community for the same reason. But I genuinely don't understand it. It sounds like one of those VPN ads frankly.

Your IP address is not private.

I did state "beyond their normal traffic". And you do realize there's a significant difference between exposing your IP as a client and exposing your IP as one that has servers hosted behind it, right? It's not about protecting that or keeping it secret. It's about not putting a target on their friend's IP address for all the bots and script kiddies to hit.

No, there isn't. Bots scan indiscriminately. And script kiddies will still attack your servers running in their network, just via your proxy.
