I had similar concerns in the past. I decided to move all of my VPS hosted services to a physical server that I control. I then use a VPS as a portal, set to simply forward traffic without unencrypting the HTTPS. Look up SSL pass through.

Fixed it. Thanks

Yeah I would suggest buying another NIC. They’re cheap, its good security, and it opens up another port upstream for other uses.

I use the pcie coral and it works fine with plenty of processing to spare although I believe mine coast e closer to $50. I have 6 amcrest PoE cameras. You should just buy a PoE switch and directly connect all cameras to it. Then link that directly to your frigate box and lock down access. Any amcrest camera should work well with frigate. I believe they all support rtsp protocol.

Are they roughly 55GB compressed?

You suggested just adding the ISOs to local-lvm. Do you think it would be feasible to simply delete the local storage completely and then extend the local-lvm after, storing the ISOs there? I know extending volumes is much simpler than shrinking. And I imagine deleting completely is also easier than shrinking?

It’s really that much of a hassle to fiddle with the volume sizes?

Due to my understanding of it, I was hesitant to use AC recovery in the case that the power goes down more than once in a short period. It could drain the UPS to the point that it might not be able to sustain enough runtime for a proper shutdown. But I’m also a bit confused about the setup here. If the server is sent a signal to shutdown due to a grid outage, who is telling it the grid was restored? The server would always detect power because of the battery backup, so I don’t think AC Power Recovery would work in this case, no? I believe I have the UPS comm server (probably apcupsd) installed on the server itself, so there’s no way for it to know to wake up unless from an outside source.

Maybe you have some further incite into how to make that setup work properly.

I’m brainstorming here, but would it be possible/feasible to have the Unifi Dream Machine execute a script everytime it turns on telling the server idrac to power up. I’d have to see if the UDM has that ability as well. The UDM turning on would only really happen if power was restored from an outage. Otherwise I could send a command manually once I have access to the network.

Very true. Traefik is pretty awesome. Thanks for the input!
