  • Appreciate everyone’s help. What I ended up doing was moving to porkbun as I (a) saved money with some of the whois privacy items, (b) got free SSL certificates, and © it worked with the automated certbot tie in with Nginx-Prox-Manager. I did confirm I could manually load certs into Nginx but have very limited time at the moment and this seemed like a straightforward path.

    Certainly the proposals for self-hosted DNS servers are interesting and something I may experiment with in the future but times limited at the moment. Now I’m just working out why Jellyfin and Photoprism work perfectly but homebox doesn’t want to work with the domain name. Another round of learning begins!



  • My internal network is blocked off from the internet and I’m not actually planning to enable tailscale for VPN in (my understanding of its purpose). This is really just so I can use sub domains like ‘homebox.mydomain.space’ to access and get a registered SSL certificate to switch all internal over. I’m not using the duckdns that Wolfgang did because I already registered a good custom domain that I use for my e-mail.
