I only used OpenWRT on netgear (arm) hardware… So for x86 I have no idea, but they have great forums you can lurk or inquire…

It should support all WiFi chipsets supported by Linux.

opnSense and WiFi don’t play too well due to limited BSD WiFi support.

OpenWRT is a much better choice for an AP.

At least make sure the WiFi on the minipc is supported by opnSense before attempting that…

I guess Wife Acceptance Factor, the number one parameter in home self host.

The risk is that the IP will get banned AFTER you start sending out mail from it because it has zero reputation… IT happened to me too and it took months, if not years, to get it definitely cleared. And if you neighbour with a similar IP get infected and start spamming, it’s all over again. This is the main issue with residential IPs, it’s a very real issue.

To get around it, rent a VPS with a non residential IP and front the mail server there, with tunnels (wireguard+nft) back to your home mail server, so at least the public facing IP is good or has less risks or being blacklisted.

Use OpenWRT and enable Fast Transitioning, works perfectly.

Self hosting email is a difficult business.

The main issue is that you must have a static IP and that IP needs to have a good mail reputation or you will be blacklisted in a few days.

Said so, Today there are pretty good selfhostable email stacks like stalwart

My solution, which has been running for over two decades, is bare metal with postfix, dovecot, opendkim, opendmarl, spamassassin and a few more poeces which are all absolutely mandatory. Plus a nice webmail and a few more optional pieces.

But on gentoo, not on nix

Nah, I am saying good new things, good old things, why not take the opportunity to migrate? Its fun.

I tought so… Nothing bad with using iptables, just there is a better guy on the block, was wondering.

Why still using iptables today?

Nftables has been the way to go for quite a while…

But I see you use docker, maybe that’s why.

Gentoo.

Daily automatic updates of the OS.

Services and containers are updated at random when i have time.

Its been many years, I have fun doing it.

Not a chore.

Nice idea! But how to create different shares with different users? Can it authenticate via SSO?

Nginx is the way to go. Just figure that out and you are all set.

No, nginx proxy manager is not the only way, you can also use nginx directly on bare metal as it is intended to.

Each room has one ZigBee thermometer and thermovalves for the heaters. Home Assistant with an automation open and closes them based on the thermometers.

Also in HA, I have a schedule for the “comfort” temperature so that the boiler can be turned on and off accordingly.

See https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=homeautomation%3Aheating for the detailed setup.

On android I prefer native apps.

Silverbullet for web access (including mobile pwa) and syncthing + markor on android.

Yes syncthing is well and alive on android (to prevent the usual posting “its dead on android”, no it’s not)

Joplin has a pretty slow UI and it doesn’t save notes in standard markdown format.

Setup a cron that does it once per day, when you don’t need it, like certbot does. Easy.

Glad you fixed it!

I see the error… You need a valid and non self-signed cert. See how letsencrypt work, its easy and the industry standard today on certs. Its also free and open source.

Mine worke just fine, what errors do you get? Does it work from web access?

Is your instance accessible from outside your self host? Does it federate?

After a few days my one use instance is globbing up 190mb of disk space. I am subscribed to quite a few communities too.
