Not sure if just ‘haha tech-rhyme, using common error message’ or deeper:

Connection reset by peer = Other party ended the conversation. Immediately after you’d stated you’re queer…

An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)

ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.

And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.

There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.

This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.

Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family without having to guide them through/restrict them to a vpn connection.

You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

The thing is, until someone actually faces any consequences in modern times for atrocities such as these; simply saying how bad they are has become meaningless.

I’m not sure whether this is specific to this project, docker, or YAML in general.

Looking through my other 20 or so compose files, I use the array notation for most of my environment variables, but I don’t have any double quotation marks elsewhere. Maybe they’re not supposed to work in this format, idk.

Good to keep in mind I guess.

Dev replied to my github discussion.

Apparently it’s an issue with array style env variable layout.

environment:
    key:"value"

Instead of

environment:
    - key=value

Trying to set that up to try out, but I can’t get it to see/use my config.yaml.

/srv/filebrowser-new/data/config.yaml

volumes:

• /srv/filebrowser-new/data:/config environment:
• FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=“/config/config.yaml”

Says ‘/config/config.yaml’ doesn’t exist and will not start. Same thing if I mount the config file directly, instead of just its folder.

If I remove the env var, it changes to “could not open config file ‘config.yaml’, using default settings” and starts at least. From there I can ‘ls -l’ through docker exec and see that my config is mounted exactly where it’s supposed to be ‘/config/config.yaml’ and has 777 perms, but filebrowser insists it doesn’t exist…

My config is just the example for now.

I don’t understand what I could possibly be doing wrong.

/edit: three hours of messing around and I figured it out:

• FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=“/config/config.yaml”

Must not have quotation marks. Removed them and now it’s working.

FolderSync selectively syncs files/folders from my phone back to my server via ssh. Some folders are on a schedule, some monitor for changes and sync immediately; most are just one-way, some are two-way (files added to the server will sync back to the phone as well as uploading data to the server). There’s even one that automatically drops files into paperless-ngx’ consume folder for automatic document importing.

From there BorgBackup makes a daily backup of the data, keeping historical backups for years with absolutely incredible efficiency. I currently have 21 backups of about ~550gb each. Borg stores this in 447gb of total disc space.
