Using Pi's to run services in my homelab which I want to keep separate from my server (to have some sort of failover in case the server goes down). Status/Monitoring, VPN server and so on

Yes and no. Without a users video history (& other tracking turned off) best they can do is push random ads hoping it would hit one in a million. That is not effective and sometimes even diseffective (hitting a controversially opposite target). Tha harms YouTube on both ends more than the ad’s company

By pushing users to turn it on they apparently gain more than just pushing random horse crap.

Looks smooth, I am running Homer (different to Homerr or others). Super easy to configure in yml and looks clean. No fancy features as weather however… or maybe haven’t found it ^^

I do think I’ll give Homarr another try after looking at yours

Unfortunately not at the moment, as all is kinda fiddled and setup manually, but I’m redoing my home lab in a couple of weeks. Send me a message and I’ll send you the docker image or script!

But basically I did the following:

  • enable ipv4 forwarding
  • configure and start VPN tunnel
  • set the default route to the tunnel
  • set the gw for reaching the remote vpn server to the local gw
  • sets routes for the local network to the local gw

If your vpn goes down, the default route shall still point to the remote gw, but as it isn’t there you also have a kill switch. Voila!

I am looking into gluetun but haven’t tried it yet.

Edit: this doesn’t protect you from someone snooping the traffic inside your local net, but protects it starting from the point where it leaves the local vpngw. The traffic is unencrypted between that and your client.

That’s becoming interesting once I’m setting up a slaves for failover & local proximity ^^ looking forward to deep diving into it

That be amazing! I am currently not using anything (took down my homelab a while back) and planning on completely starting over fresh now.

I am most likely going with unbound! So if you could, that be great!
