Question: if I setup Headscale on my network, I would have to open a port on my router to connect to it right? And also if I setup Headscale with some cloud provider, could they theoretically go and use the setup to get to my home network? I know its unlikely, I just mean if the technology is like e2e from clients to my home network, or if the cloud headscale ‘centre’ would be also an unguarded entry point (from the perspective of cloud admins). I hope I am clear 😀 Thanks (btw you probably guess why I currently use Tailscale 😀)
I think you might also make your tailscale on router an exit node. I remember when I was setting things up for me I had issue like yours, but on the phone. Everything was working when I used data, but when I connected to my local wifi it didn’t see the stuff on subnet ip’s. Setting it as exit node helped. Also make sure everything is approved in your tailscale admin.
I use storj. Its well integrated with true nas. And the encrypted files are fragmented, duplicated and scattered around the world. (many people host storj node no their true nas as well).
Same here, plus
I have recently moved adguard and home assistant to raspberry pi, same reason, though the hass I have moved into docker container with host network in the end. I also installed tailscale directly to have easy setup as an exit node.
(Alternative below) Buy 5 - 7 years old computer with decent specs (i5 i7, 16 gigs ram, don’t care about hard drives but prefer ones with ssd) for about 60 - 100 bucks. Buy 250 gigz+ ssd (if it’s not included) and any desired number and sizes of nas grade drives (this is where you don’t want to save money if you want this full fledged nas). Don’t forget UPS! Install TrueNAS. Profit… Ok not profit but enjoy. For movies definitely jellyfin (keep your distance from plex really). Audiobookshelf for audiobooks but also ebooks! Amazing software that one.
Alt. Buy raspberry pi, two usb hard drives, install open media vault and same apps as above. Setup data duplication from one drive to the second one with rsync (directly in omv ui). Omv is not as polished as true nas but its cheap and it lets you dip your feet in homelabbing first, in two to three years you will gain experience and vision to do your dream homelab (or at last try 😀) if the pi is not enough.

You are welcome :) And enjoy! Its really fun 😊
I see, I was on that path not long ago, I finally realized I do not need Proxmox and it would create unnecessary complexity for me. In truenas you can install many services (apps), they use docker under the hood, or you can create your own docker app, its much easier to manage. At least for me. I have installed e. g. Jellyfin, audiobookshelf, adguard, home assistant, nginx proxy manager and eveything without a hitch. And by “installed” i mean I found the app in truenas store, hit install and in user friendly form I just assigned a couple of parameters (like storage location). It can even create a dataset for each app for you and you dont have to deal with acl and similar. (Although I chose to handle the datasets myself to have more control over it).
Yes community edition. If I can recommend do it without proxmox, play with it and then you can decide either way. Good luck!
If I may ask, what do you want to use proxmox for?
They switched kubernetes for docker in 24.10 so it is quite new. And it works realy well. I didn’t have to tweak one thing, I was impressed.
Hi, I finally set up tailscale on my raspbery pi, in exit node mode so I have access to my whole network. I also set AdGuard an the very same pi with dhcp. I finally bought home assistant voice device, didn’t arrive yet, but cant wait to experiment with it.
I still have to setup Authelia for sso, I want to setup a device on my network as a (proton) vpn gateway (zero knowledge right now) and then I want to start learning about pfsense to properly segment my network (into subnets) and have more control.
I have been using open media vault for years, I switched quite recently to trueNAS and I don’t agree with your statement, trueNAS was easier to setup, with encryption, and is easier to maintain. Installing docker compose apps was a learning on omv, but is so simple on trueNAS for there is plenty of apps out of the box (in the store). And yeah, TrueNAS scale doesn’t use kubernetes, it uses docker now.
Good question, how do I access the UPS logs? In TrueNAS (and in home assistant) I just see the measured values.
Ahaa, so what you are saying that me seeing the input load on UPS is not the cause of the measured power consumption but just a “symptom”. That something (be it TrueNAS/rpi/switch) really draws more. How can I do a thorough analysis of what the devices do? Normally I check logs and htop and see they are just chilling. I check cpu, i/o and network and I thought that it should be pretty good indicator of if something is happening. Especially when its 6 Watts more thats like whole another rpi 😀
Same as above. The TP link that measure the power is plugged into the UPS not the other way around. The UPS is directly in the wall plug. So even if the UPS drawn 100 Watts it shouldn’t show on the TP Link.
But the TP link that measure the power is plugged into the UPS not the other way around. The UPS is directly in the wall plug.
Thanks for sharing this, I am currently looking into these and so far found Dumb Assets and also partially Warracker which seems to be super active in adding features, but so far is focused mainly on warranties.
