is it better to use subdomains or paths?
  • Everyone is saying subdomains so I'll try to give a reason for paths. Using subdomains makes local access a bit harder. With paths you can use httpS://192etc/example, but if you use subdomains, how do you connect internally with https? Https://example.192etc won't work as you can't mix an ip address with domain resolution. You'll have to use http://192etc:port. So no httpS for internal access. I got around this by hosting adguard as a local DNS and added an override so that my domain resolved to the local IP. But this won't work if you're connected to a VPN as it'll capture your DNS requests, if you use paths you could exclude the IP from the VPN.

    Edit: not sure what you mean by "more setup", you should be using a reverse proxy either way.

  • Spotify alternative

    I'm looking for a self hosted music server (or client) that has good automatic playlist generation from a selected song, like Spotify's "your recommended". I'm currently running jellyfin and navidrome for music. The closest I've seen is beatbump but it uses YouTube for the music, I'm hoping to use my local files. Any suggestions?
