I completely understand, but how will they access it? Over something like teamviewer where you can also see the screen and control the mouse keyboard would be preferable to ssh access where you have no idea whats happening until it’s over.

On the other hand, whatever he’s going to do he should hopefully know beforehand, otherwise it just sounds like a fishing session to try a few things.

You can also filter by zha, MQTT etc.

I have a combination of sonoff, ikea, lidl, and a few tuya. Be careful with tuya versions, I’ve bought hardware that wasn’t compatible but looked like it was

I’m in the same position as you, Linux server(s) on 24/7, and my torrent box just went bang, so could you point me to what and how you’ve setup your stack?

Have a Proxmox server and was thinking of creating a LXC, installing docker and having separate compose files for a arr stack rather than rebuilding the dedicated torrent box. Not a docker expert by any means

Problem I’ve got is that I’ve read so much about various ways of doing it, I’ve now stuck on which way would be best.

$6 x 14Tb = $84 month x 12 months = $1008 per year, or did I miss read the prices?

How much are you backing up? Admittedly backblaze looks cheap but at $6 Tb leaves me with $84 pcm or just over $1000 per year.

I’m seriously considering a rpi3 with a couple of external disk in an outbuilding instead of cloud

Why limit yourself to just your phone, use a pi-hole and block ads for your whole network.

And when I’m out, I have a vpn running on the phone back to my home network and block ads on 4g/5g as well

When you install a dual boot system, Linux installs a grub loader. This asks you what you want to boot - windows or Linux.

Microsoft doesn’t place nicely with grub and I’ve found many occasions when a windows update mysteriously disabled it, and you can only then boot into windows.

If you only want to test the interface and see if you get in with it, you could create a Linux live usb. It’ll be the same but the os speed will take a hit booting from usb, so just be aware.

Been a while since I had the problem, but then been a while since I even wanted to boot windows anyway…
