It is a must these days to have TailScale support, especially for secure remote access. It is far too easy to mess up a WireGaurd/OpenVPN Config, if the goal is security and simplicity, Tailscale VPN access should be a high priority.

Hello, not sure if it was requested already, but a curation for the "Actual Budget" app would be greatly appreciated. I found it by looking at the apps tab, and did some more research on it and i would love to switch to it instead of my current app of Quicken since I pay yearly to use it. I think it would help many nowadays due to inflation. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I just ordered an F8 SSD Plus. I will probably ending up ordering something from Ubiquiti, but that will be a separate project. Thanks for the help!

Second that!

I'm sorry, i meant i don't know if the updates that normaly automiticaly get applied are applied and that's why i wanted to know if there was a way to check the version (not 1.0 or 2.0 , ... But more like version v0.1.020425002 that you can see in the deck settings screen)

Well that tidbit led me to another thread about remote access disconnects, which was fixed by https://[LocalServerIP]:32400,http://[LocalServerIP]:32400 being put in the “custom server access” field. And now I can stream at full resolution!

Looking at the cabinet space, depth seems to be the biggest challenge. An Intel NUC is already 115 x 115 mm, and then you still have the ports at the back. I’m not sure how much storage you need, but there isn’t much room for hard drives. Furthermore, I agree with @Theo that running your router in a VM is not ideal. As a solution, you could consider using two devices: one for NAS (storage, apps, VMs) and one as a router. Router Suggestions: You could consider a mini PC from Ikoolcore, which can run pfSense. There are many other vendors offering similar devices: 🔗 Ikoolcore R2 Mikrotik and Ubiquiti also offer great routers for a homelab. NAS Suggestions: Perhaps the Terramaster (F8 SSD Plus or F8 SSD) could be a good option: 🔗 Terramaster F8 SSD Plus Or the LincStation N1 (the N2 with 10GbE is launching soon): 🔗 LincStation N2 NAS Review I personally use an Aoostar WTR Pro. It supports four hard drives and has its ports on the side, which might be useful given your limited space: 🔗 Aoostar WTR Pro These are just a few ideas—I hope they help! You can find great reviews of many NAS devices on YouTube. Also, ServeTheHome is a useful website. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe others will chime in but IMO i wouldn't run my router inside a VM, inside my NAS... I can just see too many things to go wrong, and too many issues getting everything set up! If anything as a VM inside Proxmox Installed on the bare metal, then Hex in a separate container at minimum. As for routers in general, if space is an issue, have you looked into Ubiquiti? i've got the Unifi UCG-Ultra which is tiny but powerful, and will hardly take up any space, then you can choose where to put an AP. As for the NAS, if space is the biggest concern, then really a SFF M.2 pre built nas would probably be the go too? Perhaps something like this from UGreen or Asustor. But then i hope you have budget for the SSD's. Also if space is an issue, again a small Prebuilt 2 Bay Nas could work, or if you want large capacity, perhaps look into / think about placing it elsewhere and running ethernet (if you don't have runs already?)

Only if we can XDCC get a iso

YES PLEASE TAILSCALE!

Tailscale delivered in an Ansible deliverable that unpacks through HexOS is my vision. HexOS is the killer app for Tailscale, and vice versa.
