Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

First and foremost: Do not expose your host system or the OMV admin interface to the internet. Ever. Doing so is only asking for trouble. Only expose services that have been properly isolated from the rest of the network and host system. Everything else you can access via VPN, or locally.
Secondly: OpenMediaVault beginner's guide by DB Tech. Him, Craft Computing, Hardware Haven, and a few others whose names currently escape me, are all solid sources for learning how to host things at home.
After OMV, I would start with learning Docker and other containerization methods, and VMs.
You're totally right and it wasn't my plan. I actually deployed some services in a mix of docker compose and portainer. With separate UID and GID for each of them. And the idea is to really expose the 1 or 2 services for remote control.
Oh think I saw this guy's tutorial regarding docker an OMV. I will watch the whole series. Thank you for your help
Sounds like you're pretty familiar already! I use OMV for my NAS and have several NFS shares for various services. It's a solid solution IMO.
Tbh it took some time to get a feeling for the whole thing but now I can handle the thing pretty well. That's why I thought it's time for the next step. And I like it as well!
