[1831.82 --> 1839.66] I was getting errors because I have Uptime Kuma running here in the studio and it connects back to LadyJupe's over tailscale and checks on stuff for me.
[1840.00 --> 1841.56] And sure enough, yep, I was having an outage.
[1841.66 --> 1842.66] It turned out to be Starlink though.
[1844.02 --> 1846.38] But it was nice to know that I could go check on everything.
[1846.50 --> 1850.34] And I've created like my own LAN that goes wherever I go.
[1850.40 --> 1853.62] And it can connect my servers, my workstations, my mobile devices.
[1853.62 --> 1860.70] Even when you're separated by firewalls or even double NAT, tailscale just works.
[1860.96 --> 1864.94] I'm using it on my family's computers to help provide remote support now as well.
[1865.34 --> 1869.92] And I just love that every device essentially gets a static IP address, at least in my world.
[1870.56 --> 1871.34] It's pretty nice.
[1871.80 --> 1875.86] I really like the fact that you can use different nodes as exit nodes as well.
[1875.94 --> 1882.04] So if you want to come out in a different state or a different country for some reason, you can totally do that.
[1882.04 --> 1884.38] So you use the advertise exit node feature.
[1884.72 --> 1888.10] And you know, for me and my iPlayer habit, that's very handy.
[1888.62 --> 1889.88] Yeah, that's a power move right there.
[1890.06 --> 1891.14] That really is.
[1891.50 --> 1897.20] And the other thing that's great is that tailscale supports your authentication system, your identity provider.
[1897.38 --> 1899.62] So you can enforce multi-factor authentication.
[1900.02 --> 1903.00] You could deauthorize employees or devices and stuff when people move on.
[1903.04 --> 1905.48] Like you get access and control over all that as well.
[1905.82 --> 1912.02] So go try it out for free for up to 20 machines and support the show by going to tailscale.com.
[1912.04 --> 1913.74] Slash self-hosted.
[1916.04 --> 1918.82] So David asks about keeping Nextcloud going.
[1919.02 --> 1919.76] Hey, Chris and the Badger.
[1919.86 --> 1923.02] I've been listening for a while now and I've just started my journey with Nextcloud.
[1923.56 --> 1925.72] Seems to be a perfect fit for my home lab.
[1925.96 --> 1931.04] And as I progress with my journey, I can see myself getting more into the, how do I say it?
[1931.54 --> 1933.02] Enterprise-y way of doing things.
[1933.72 --> 1936.66] Specifically, I'm talking around monitoring and security.
[1936.66 --> 1943.40] So what are some of your must-haves when you're deploying things like Nextcloud for that kind of stuff like monitoring and security?
[1943.74 --> 1947.28] I'm sure your first answer will be everything sits behind WireGuard.
[1947.64 --> 1951.22] But outside of that, it can be a bit overwhelming to newcomers.
[1951.74 --> 1954.62] Maybe everything sits at a side tailscale, right?
[1954.62 --> 1957.10] You know, it's funny.
[1957.32 --> 1959.00] I actually would go the other way.
[1959.46 --> 1961.92] You know, I mean, so David asked, what would you install?
[1962.42 --> 1970.92] My top Nextcloud tip is only load the apps you need and then double check if you really are using them and need them.
[1971.02 --> 1972.96] And if you don't, unload them.
[1973.24 --> 1973.46] All right?
[1973.50 --> 1974.52] So that's my top tip.
[1974.52 --> 1980.42] But as far as turning stuff on, if you're going to expose Nextcloud to the internet, turn on two-factor authentication.
[1980.96 --> 1985.88] And it integrates with probably any two-factor authentication system that you love and know.
[1986.38 --> 1987.70] It's really easy to do.
[1987.78 --> 1988.64] They've made this simple.
[1988.82 --> 1990.50] There's an app you can install as well as some settings.
[1990.60 --> 1992.70] And I'll put a link in the show notes for how to get that going.
[1992.80 --> 2001.70] Because I think if you just keep Nextcloud up to date, you keep it super lean, you turn on SSL, and you turn on two-factor authentication.
[2001.70 --> 2005.46] I think that just doing those things, you'd probably be all right.
[2006.02 --> 2008.20] What's your feeling about updates for Nextcloud?
[2008.34 --> 2012.02] I think I'm probably five versions behind at this point.
[2012.42 --> 2014.18] I am a version behind myself.
[2014.44 --> 2017.48] You know, that's tricky here at JB is we run two Nextcloud instances.
[2018.10 --> 2021.14] One that you guys interact with up on Linode.
[2021.24 --> 2023.92] And then we run another instance here in the studio.
[2024.50 --> 2028.16] It is kind of a pain in the butt to keep it updated, if I'm honest.
[2028.18 --> 2030.04] Because sometimes there is some work that has to be done.
[2030.04 --> 2033.32] So what I do is I just whine to Wes and usually get him to do it.
[2033.54 --> 2036.28] But we do it all through Docker Compose now.
[2036.40 --> 2037.42] And I'll do it on occasion.
[2037.82 --> 2039.98] But I have to tell you, it slips.
[2040.68 --> 2041.94] And I don't like that.
[2042.50 --> 2044.24] Not everybody has a Wes at their disposal.
[2044.38 --> 2044.94] You know that, right?
[2045.90 --> 2046.26] Wes!
[2046.34 --> 2047.42] You just do it like that.
[2048.00 --> 2052.66] Thankfully, if you run it all through a container or, you know, some other system you're comfortable with.
[2052.82 --> 2054.48] I know some of our listeners use the Snap.
[2054.48 --> 2057.92] Some of those methodologies are actually pretty easy to keep it up to date.
[2058.26 --> 2059.10] I'm only a version behind.
[2059.20 --> 2059.66] I just checked.
[2059.76 --> 2060.72] I'm on version 22.
[2061.10 --> 2062.16] 23 is the latest.
[2062.36 --> 2063.30] Came out in December.
[2064.02 --> 2064.60] It's not too bad.
[2064.96 --> 2065.10] Yeah.
[2065.18 --> 2066.70] In my head, I'm like three behind.
[2066.80 --> 2067.96] In reality, I'm only one behind.
[2069.48 --> 2070.88] But I feel that pressure.
[2070.88 --> 2079.44] Another important thing, David, would be to make sure that you are really cognizant about how you actually deploy NextCloud in the first place.
[2079.92 --> 2081.62] As Chris mentioned, some people use a Snap.
[2082.02 --> 2083.14] Other people use a container.
[2083.42 --> 2085.76] Other people do it by running it on the host itself.
[2086.70 --> 2095.44] And one of the most common ways I've seen listeners lose data is by not remembering how they set something up six months, a year, two years ago.
[2095.44 --> 2098.20] And then their server goes down for some reason.
[2098.36 --> 2107.50] They've got a copy of the data from the sync client on their local system, but they don't have a way to reconstruct the database and the users and everything as it was.
[2107.80 --> 2109.92] So use something like Docker Compose.
[2110.04 --> 2113.98] It would be my recommendation for a repeatable deployment method.
[2114.56 --> 2118.94] Whatever you do, whether it's Compose or whatever, make sure you write it down somewhere.
[2119.56 --> 2119.90] Well said.
[2120.28 --> 2120.84] Well said.
[2121.46 --> 2122.62] Plus one on that.
[2122.62 --> 2125.26] John writes in, looking for a simple way to get started.
[2126.26 --> 2127.82] He says, I hope you guys can help me here.
[2127.88 --> 2132.18] I'm starting to dive further into self-hosting, and I have a couple of Mac mini servers at home.
[2132.22 --> 2144.14] And I was thinking about setting up the M1 box with either Docker, maybe with Portainer, or Unraid to start and learn about implementing containers for apps such as Plex Media Server, Home Assistant, TDAR, et cetera, et cetera.
[2144.74 --> 2150.56] I want to have a GUI as I'm not a coder, apart from following how-to videos from YouTube and using terminal commands.
[2150.56 --> 2151.60] What would you suggest?
[2151.84 --> 2153.36] Cheers, John.
[2153.36 --> 2157.46] Well, I think Unraid is a bloody brilliant place to start, to be honest with you.
[2157.64 --> 2164.02] It's a really great mix of UI, community, and documentation.
