Wireguard or Tailscale? I'll be the only one ever to access my home network from outside my home.

What was your reasoning for dumping pi-hole?

Do you encrypt the backups? I'm interested in learning more about this process.

I think that might be it. Almost like accessing a machine via a browser. Reminds of me Guacamole but I'm still not sure.

Pardon my ignorance, would this be comparable to something like Guacamole?

Why? whats wrong with focusing on a specific audience?

Hmm. I'm not sure what you are trying to debate, /u/ElevenNotes. OP wrote a damn good guide, and looking at their other work - they are doing a great job at contributing to this community. Their post was also featured in the weekly newsletter over at selfh.st. This is a hobby sub with a contributing community. I urge you to treat it like one.

I don't see the contradiction. /u/KillerTic wrote about A linux distro, Debian, and wrote a how-to guide for said distro. Just because Alpine didn't work out for them, doesn't mean that they can't write an article about Debian.

I encourage you to actually read the article IF you are interested in learning about installing Debian. Not to mention, the writer clearly states this right up front.

I want to make it clear that I'm not a Linux expert or administrator; everything I've learned has been self-taught. The same applies to security practices.

If you happen to identify any issues or have valuable tips and advice, I welcome your input. I'm continually seeking ways to improve, and I'll maintain a change log at the bottom of this article to track any updates and enhancements.

Another great article! I'm curious about the reasoning for using Debian on a Pi vs the Pi OS which is based off Debian?

Ok here it goes...

Many on this sub will start an echo chamber. They will tell you how you should never host e-mail. Never! And how this plan, and that host, is so much cheaper. It's not worth the headache. Oh the headaches. Bla bla bla. They think because they don't want to do it, no one else should.

If you want to learn how to host your own e-mail. Do it! Just don't plan on using that e-mail for anything mission critical. At least not in the beginning.

Oh and your Pi4 is more than enough to do what you are trying to.
