  • I wouldn’t recommend putting ssh behind any vpn connection unles you have a secondary access to the machine (for example virtual tty/terminal from your provider or local network ssh). At best, ssh should be the only publicly accessible service (unless hosting other services that need to be public accessible).

    I usually move the ssh port to some higher number just to get rid of the basic scanners/skiddies.

    Also disable password login (only keys) and no root login.

    And for extra hardening, explicitly allow ssh for only users that need it (in sshd config).

    I don’t see a mention of PocketBook so here it is, last time I checked they are running a linux kernel and the source is available and the device should be moddable/hackable.

    I am in love with my PB Touch HD 3, does exactly what it needs without any annoying stuff (but with goodies like backlight and blue filter). I did opt into using their cloud for book syncing (which is not required at all, usb cable works too or other clouds) but there was never an ad or intrusive thing, love it.


  • I don’t use nginx proxy manager but websocket has to be enabled for apps that use websockets (duh) - you would have to dive into docs or example infra configs to check if the service uses it.
    Rule of thumb here would be to enable it for everything. Optionally you could check if the service works with/without it.

    E: Websockets are used when a website needs to talk in “real-time” with the servers - live views and graphs will usually use it also notifications, generally if the website does not reload/redraw fully but data seems to change then there is a high chance it uses websockets under the hood (but there are ways to do it without ws, ex. SSE).

    Example: Grafana uses websockets but qbittorrent web ui uses other means (SSE) and does not require ws.


  • borg backup with rsync.net

    Borg does de-duplication and compression, I’ve used it for multiple things like backing up minecraft servers and it can reduce the final backup size by a lot (like 1-2 TBs to a hundred of GB, though that was with content that was highly compressible and didn’t change much over-time so the deduplication did a lot too).

    There is also borgbase.com which looks a bit better and focuses only on borg repositories instead of also being compatible with just about any usual tools (eg rsync, rclone etc)

    I would try momentarily replacing the defined dns servers with nameserver 1.1.1.1 and see if stuff improves, though the pull error would hint that docker did resolve the name but somehow didn’t get an answer.
    Hard to guess what else could be a problem apart from some obvious stuff - check if the internet connection is healthy and stable (ping, watch for spikes in ms or drops, also any outgoing firewall filters?)



  • In practice, nothing changes for the Redis developer community who will continue to enjoy permissive licensing under the dual license. At the same time, all the Redis client libraries under the responsibility of Redis will remain open source licensed. Redis will continue to support its vast partner ecosystem – including managed service providers and system integrators – with exclusive access to all future releases, updates, and features developed and delivered by Redis through its Partner Program. There is no change for existing Redis Enterprise customers.

    Seems this currently touches only cloud “resellers” of redis










  • I rent dedicated machine so the HW I have is the limit - I pay the same rate every month, no matter the usage, so with the bit outdated but still performant Ryzen 5 3600 and 64GB of RAM I was very happy to throw minecraft/zomboid/vallheim servers at it and few more services, aye aye;)

    Though the possibility of tunneling services out from the RPi is something I am aware of, but except for stuff that would benefit from video HW accel there isn’t much that would be better to run on the RPi instead of on the server directly.
