My friends and I are looking into storing each other's very important documents and having distributed infrastructure for resiliency. For instance I store my vault which contains an encrypted copy of my passwords vault, medical records, digital birth certificate, etc. This is th…
Redditr/selfhosted15 h agoiPhone backups
Does anyone have any nifty solution for iPhone backups? I know the only official way would be to have iTunes installed and maybe copy the backup file from this to my NAS. Is there a self hosted server out there somewhere?
Redditr/selfhosted19 h agoImmich for the family?
Hey all, We've been using Synology photos for my family to back up all of their precious photos and videos from their mobile devices. Lately, I have become frustrated with how lacking Synology hardware is and I would like to migrate to something like Immich, and phase out the tw…
Redditr/sysadmin20 h agoDump ssl/ipsec VPN for who?
Looking to drop a traditional VPN design and go towards a tailscale like design. VPN is one of our only publicly exposed services and we'd like to close it down. Small user base, 100 or so. Recommendations? All resources are on-prem and we can host it
Redditr/selfhosted23 h agoGmail offline backup (one time backup)
Hello. One of my gmail accounts is full. I already deleted fotos and drive, so now it's just emails. I need to delete older emails, but I don't want to lose them. What are my self-hosted options? I need to be able to read those e-mails in an easy way. (I heard of pointing Thunde…
Redditr/sysadmin23 h agoSolo admin (16 sites): Does ditching half-baked Cisco Umbrella for Cloudflare or a lightweight alternative make sense?
Need a quick sanity check from folks who run lean environments. Our org is burning cash right now on a bunch of acquisitions and building an actual stadium, so management is pushing hard to cut costs across the board. I took over this environment about a year ago after the previ…
Redditr/sysadmin1 d agoWhat is everyone doing for a key provider for vTPM to deploy Server 2025?
My team has been telling my org for 3+ years that we need a third party Key Provider appliance to use to handle the vTPM keys to deploy Server 2025 in a robust/scalable/safe way. We could use the built in key providers from vmware stuff, but when trialing it, didn't get a good f…
Redditr/devops2 d agoHas anyone found a way to automate SOC2 audits using AI?
This shit is the bane of my existence. We use Secureframe so it does automate a lot, but I am still spending more time taking screenshots than any human should be. I feel like with all the AI stuff these days there should be a way to automate this. I've had Claude generate a few…
Redditr/sysadmin17 d agoHow do you handle users signing up for random software/SaaS?
Yes, I know this is technically more of an HR/Policies issue, but I'm hoping to learn about what some options might be. I am the IT department for a 20-person agency. We change software and test out new things pretty often, which is great because then we aren't stuck using legac…
Redditr/sysadmin17 d agoNAC Options people actually like
Hi folks,We're looking at NAC options currently, to replace Fortinac which was really bad (poorly engineered, tons of bugs, support rarely knowing how to fix things quickly, just overrall bad experience). At first we were looking at Cisco ISE but the more we look, the more this…
Redditr/HomeNetworking18 d agoHelp building my setup
Hi guys, so i really dont know anything about these systems, so of course I went to claude and ask for his recommendation and I would like to know your thoughts and recommendations on my specific situation. My internet supplier is about 700gb/s, the house is two floors and I hav…
Redditr/aiagents19 d agoWhat are you all using to protect your company’s AI?
Basically, as I understand it, a regular firewall is built to check packets and ports, it knows how to map HTTP traffic to IP addresses, but it has no clue what’s actually happening inside that traffic. So when an employee pastes trade secrets into ChatGPT, or an agent starts us…
Redditr/HomeNetworking20 d agoSetting up a safe remote desktop connection
I have to travel back and forth between cities for family reasons for the next month or 2. I am currently in school and most of my required software is on my home pc and want to access them while I'm out of town. I know just connecting to my desktop remotely without a VPN is a b…

Redditr/Bitwarden21 d agoOS 12.7.3
Hi all, My mom uses an old iMac that can no longer update past OS 12.7.3. As a result, some apps like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. are also refusing to update further. I'm looking for a password manager for her, and several people have recommended Bitwarden, but I'm trying to f…

Redditr/sysadmin23 d agoWhen someone leaves, how do you actually revoke their access to servers and databases?
Curious how teams handle this in practice. When a dev or contractor leaves, there are SSH keys in authorized_keys on a dozen boxes, a DB password everyone knew, staging .env files in Slack DMs, maybe AWS keys on their laptop. Do you rotate everything they could have touched, or…
Redditr/homelab23 d agoSimple software for working with LTO drive
Hi! I recently got my hands on a reasonably cheap fibre channel LTO 6 drive made by HP. I have a small home server running ESXi and OpenMediaVault on top of that with 20TB of storage... around 8TB of which I need to back up. I am now looking for a piece of software that will eas…

I am looking for a good, and I prefer, free or very cheap (or a good lifetime plan, etc) email alias service.I just create a "someone.com" email. You can create random duck emails to use with which account you need, but I don't see anybody talking about this service, i don't kno…

Hello everyone!I am not Greek, but I spend a lot of time in Thessaloniki.I was followed by a random guy on the street, I am not sure what his intentions were but probably not good. I managed to get out of the area thanks to another man who scared the weirdo. ( I was not dressed…
Redditr/u_itmustbedan_26 d agoIs Wondershare Recoverit actually able to recover data that was overwritten by a Windows installer USB, or is it just a tease?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a panic and need some advice.Long story short, I accidentally used a USB drive that contained some old family photos/videos to create a Windows installation media (using the official tool, so it formatted the drive and put all the boot/source files…

Redditr/androidapps27 d agoGood proxy clients?
I'm currently using Tun2TAP which works fine, but has ads, and I'd like something ad-free. Bonus points if FOSS. SocksDroid seems to be defunct and I can no longer find it on F-Droid.

Redditr/HomeNetworking27 d agoLocking Down Child Access, Suggestions Please
We need to severely lock down a child's access to the internet. Im talking chopping off access at the knees. And, of course these days "some" access is still needed for legitimate education purposes, so this needs to be accommodated, which eliminates the "just take away the kids…
Redditr/HomeNetworking27 d agoApple tv vpn, native app or just share from the router/phone?
tvOS supports vpn apps now, but only some providers have actually built one for it. ExpressVPN and Surfshark both have tvOS apps listed in the App Store. Proton's pack is less clear. For anyone using one on an Apple TV 4K, how smooth are they in practice? Remote navigation, auto…
Redditr/embedded28 d agoCheap debugger hardware?
Hi I just found out that my husband has been recording me via audio without my knowledge or permission for months and was planning to use that “info” to build a custody case against me. I don’t know what kind of equipment he is using or where it is in the house but I was advised…
X28 d agoSeriously, can anyone recommend a VPN that’s genuinely free forever? 😭 Not those “free” ones that give you a 7-day trial and then basically force you to subscribe. 😅🫶🏻🙏🏻 #FreenBecky #ฟรีนเบค #DUOONEXFreenBecky

Redditr/selfhosted28 d agoThe outage question: does your local setup keep recording when the internet dies?
The scenario that decides my next purchase: storm knocks out internet for hours. Do your local-storage cams keep detecting and recording through it, and hand you the timeline after the fact? Or does the whole system sit down with the router? My current cloud cams brick themselve…

Hi all. We're currently using Wsus + Batchpatch for our OS and 3rd party updates and i'm currently looking into replacing them. I've been doing some research and it seems like PDQ and Manage Engine are the top two options for me. Our network is air gapped and I use an internet c…
Redditr/sysadmin29 d agoHow do you manage firmware/BIOS updates across a mixed Dell/HPE/Lenovo server fleet?
We're running a mix of Dell, HPE, and Lenovo servers, and keeping firmware/BIOS versions consistent across the fleet has become a real headache. Each vendor has its own tool (OpenManage, iLO/SPP, XClarity), and there's no single place to see what's outdated or prioritize what ac…

There is now a growing pile of devices we don't manage from contractors on their own laptops, a few BYOD staff and remote people on home machines we'll never put an agent on. The managed fleet is handled, it's the unmanaged ones I'm unsure about. SASE gets pitched as the answer…

Redditr/devops30 d agoWhy are backups usually not treated as infrastructure as code?
Compute, networking, secrets and policies are normally in git and get peer reviewed PRs. If you're dealing with a Kubernetes cluster, oftentimes that's all reconciled by tools like ArgoCD and others. Backup is usually an exception where you click around web UIs or write bespoke…
