Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn’t that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!

Thank you for not only taking the time to answer but also adding quite useful resources. I will look into it!

The problem is probably a legality thing. In Germany for example AFAIK people need to be told they are recorded and must accept to this. So by implementing such a feature, you need to adhere to local laws, which differ from country to country and may make it way to complex and dangerous to implement.

That seems like quite a large endavour. And I’m always a fan of alternatives. One thing I do not fully understand is the, I do not want to selfhost so its federated. Somebody needs to host in the end, why can’t it be you?

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.

The two main reasons I decided to opt for a VPS was, that I don’t have a PC here that is efficient enough and the faster fresh installs and snapshots are a pro too.

Thanks this is quite helpful!

Sounds like Showly, that aggregates track.tv and IMDB. https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss

Did you use any instructions? Couldn’t find anything but ansible script when searching the web.

How did you get Monica running? I’ve tried the docker scripts but had no luck with them.
