Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened. I’d get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it.

You grossly underestimate how much some people truly love the idea of highly personalized ads. People who believe they are the best possible outcome and cannot fathom why anyone would have any problem with them at all. That’s who you are asking to dogfood this product, and they would and would find no issues with it.

This isn’t the very beginning, but a lot of the discussion can be read here - https://community.home-assistant.io/t/consider-to-avoid-adding-library-dependencies-from-frenck/315185

Arch is a great alternative to Linux and Linux is a great alternative to Linux.

If you

understand what it is you’re replacing, what you’re replacing it with, and how to use the replacement

then you, almost by definition, are an advanced user.

A beginner should avoid these things, once you are far enough along to understand why you might want to replace one of these things, and form your own opinion on it, then go right ahead. But you’re no longer a beginner at that point.

Static IPs handed out by your local router are not dependent on having a static IP from your ISP. You do not need one to have the other. You can always have static IPs on your local network.

I’d certainly be interested in full details. This sounds like the best of all worlds of not needing to double reverse proxy, not hardcoding internal IPs in the config of a single reverse proxy on the VPS, and not losing the source IP.

Does this cause all traffic at the reverse proxy to appear to come from the source IP of your VPS or does it preserve the original source IP?

I’ve been working on setting up a similar setup myself and am trying to figure out specifically how to handle the forwarding on the VPS.
