Can confirm this. I experienced this on my Pi3 recently with a VPN. I mean, it wasn’t the end of the world. Just that the specific docker container I wanted to use wasn’t compatible because of ARM so I had to go with a different one.

It could be bad for specific things that are more obscure. But I use my Pi for PiHole adblocking and VPN and that’s it. My other stuff lives on another machine and the Pi is set up for redundancy and it’s more reliable if power outages happen since power in means power on by default.

If you can get one for cheap and just want it for the same reason, could be alright.

What are some examples of low-effort posts? I’ve never felt that way about any posts I’ve seen here. Granted I’m not a heavy user in this community, just been a lurker, but I may be using this more as I grow my own home lab.

SFTP has been mentioned and is a good choice but this could also be done over torrents too. It’s the other most common legal use besides Linux distros.

Probably a direct link to the home network so the camera looks like it’s on the same network.

I’ve thought of and tried this for my VR headset to my home in a similar manner. The VR headset will only stream from my gaming PC if it’s on the same network and so I’d hope to use a VPN to tunnel into my network when not at home to play remotely. I’ve not gotten this to work, but this sounds like a similar hope for OP with a camera.

 

I finally got my Linux server set up and got Plex moved over to run in a docker container and it’s fan-fucking-tastic.

My next question is about radarr and sonarr. I worry about getting notices, throttled by my ISP, etc. I have a VPN that I use to manually download content, but would prefer the automated method instead which I understand radarr and sonarr are for.

Would I need VPN to use these for this concern? If I do run a VPN, would I encounter issues with my external Plex access? I do often use it out of the house and have others who connect to my server to stream too. If so, is there a way to configure it to work with the VPN? And if I do, do I need to run it under that all the time? I don’t always get the VPN since there are some months where nothing is worth downloading for me, so why pay for it until I need it?

That sounds like a great idea but how is the ventilation on that setup? Does it have ventilation for letting in cool air and exhausting the hot air?
