I agree, very beginner friendly. But also, it’s what most people are gonna need.
I actually started with Traefik because I didn’t know any better, and I kinda wanna go back to be honest because with Traefik I was able to configure a Minecraft server, without having to expose the port. But not with NGINX Proxy Manager.l, since it only does http and shit. But I REALLY like being able to do everything via a webUI since I only have a phone to manage my server .
So, I find myself stuck between functionality and ease of use. :(
If something happens to me, or I pass away, wifey has instructions on shutting everything down (probably should write instructions on how to save all the important stuff).
But I don’t want to deal with other peoples stuff. I like tinkering with my server and different docker containers, etc. So I don’t want someone complaining they can’t access their photos because I wanted to try something new. Also, just don’t wanna be responsible for storing their photos and important documents.
So, I have no idea what your patterns, habits, and just general life is like, but I actually use it for some subscriptions. I currently pay for Sync for Lemmy using it, and also for a mass texting app.
Are there any mobile games you like? You can use it for some iAP’s :)
If there is an app that you’ve been eyeing but it is a little more than you’d like to spend, maybe use your credits on that!
That’s how I paid for 1Password 7 a few years ago lol
I have 3 Google nest mini speakers or whatever they’re called, and I bought these smart outlets at target.
Connected 2 of them in the master bedroom, to bedside lamps for wifey and i. Being able to use the Google home app from our phones to control, or as you said just “hey Google, turn on Daddy’s lamp” is fucking solid. I hate flicking on light switches. Never realized it until I set this up.
This is pretty niche, but damn do I use my phone a lot to manage my Homelab server. In fact, I don’t actually currently have access to a computer, so I can ONLY manage my server via my phone.
I use JuiceSSH to SSH into my server.
I use OpenVPN Connect to connect to my server via VPN.
There’s also plenty of apps that I use to connect to the *arr suite of software that I have running for media.
Currently I’m using Connect for Lemmy as it’s the closest to what I’m used to. In fact, it seems like the dev is trying to make a clone of Sync lol. But I’m chomping at the bit for the release of Sync for Lemmy
