Definitely agree. If you need to spin up a bunch of discrete VMs for labbing, that’s one thing, but noise, cooling, power consumption, and space all come into play for dedicated hardware. I host a variety of services and they all run on small, low energy hardware (which is often pretty cheap). I just spun up a matrix server on a $100 ebay HP ProDesk which has plenty of power (probably enough to deploy my whole stack).

Glad to hear that it’s planned. It’s the biggest hurdle to transitioning friends and family over.

Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven’t been able to determine if it’s in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I’m not sure about the electron app.

I was thinking more along the lines of simply thowing up a port to SSH into. No Fail2Ban and no keys, just a password.

I would just containerize and reverse proxy, but I understand the hesitation, wireguard would be preferable.

Any reason you prefer to wireguard into Navidrome instead of reverse proxying to a domain?

You’d hope, but I have a few friends who simply port-expose their media servers.

I guess it could be worse if they had ssh exposed.
