    You can find many more examples in my public repo with many compose examples:

  • Various options:

    • Raspberry Pi. However, although it can handle a lot of selfhosted stuff, some things won’t be fast. Especially wazuh or nextcloud may be problematic. Also you are limited by ARM architecture and the price is not that beneficial anymore
    • Some small form factor (SFF) servers from eBay. Something like Lenovo ThinkCell Tiny or Dell Optiplex Micro. As you will have a second NAS for storage, it will be fine that you can only put 1 HDD/SSD into those models
    • A NUC from Minisforum. More pricey but new and plenty of power. Runs with 10W idle. I rock the HM90 EliteMini with 2 SSDs and one onboard NVME for proxmox as hypervisor OS.

    Ensure to choose wisely. Especially regarding power consumption and hardware encoding capabilities (Looping at you jellyfin).

    Otherwise, some summarized infos here:

    BTW: I do not recommend running a Tor exit node.


    • completely recreate your compose stack
    • clear cache on all clients
    • ensure that you properly followed the breaking changes of immich. There is no immich-web and immich-proxy anymore. The immich-server is solely handling the web app requests and api stuff.

    Otherwise, with no logs or real details there is nothing I can help with. Maybe start by telling us your compose file and used reverse proxy + error logs.








  • From what I understand, those services would allow to only allow Traefik to redirect the user to the appropriate service if correctly authenticated, is that correct?

    Exactly. In Traefik, this is often called a forwardAuth middleware. Only if you are authenticated against Authelia/Authentik, Traefik will obtain the go to proxy the user request to the actual proxy service.

    Also, using either Authentik or Authelia, user can use SSO to register/login ? How can I control who can register?

    Yes but it depends on the proxied application. Some do not support OAuth/OIDC/SAML and whatever. Then, you have to authenticate against Authelia/Authentik and a second time at the service via username and password usually. Some apps however support it. Then you can setup the app and Authelia/Authentik for SSO. If done, only a single login against Authelia/Authentik is required and you’ll be automatically logged into the app. No second login necessary. Authelia/Authentik will handle it. Whether a user can register or not depends on the app and how it is setup. Portainer e.g. can allow SSO user registering but also deny it. If denied, you’d have to create the users first manually in Portainer with the same email address as in Authentik. Then the user can login.

    For instance I use immich to backup my pictures, so in the immich mobile app server settings I have : immich.mydomain.com, how would that works out if I use either Authentik or Authelia?

    Unfortunately, Immich does not support OAuth/OIDC/SAML yet. Therefore, you are left with authenticating against Authelia/Authentik and then as well against immich via your user credentials. As correctly assumed, this requires a web browser to obtain the Authelia/Authentik login screen. For the immich mobile app, this is not possible.

    There is some discussion on GitHub here about this topic:

    https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/3118

    I’ve also implemented Authentik with Traefik. May read here:

  • 3 nodes are nice. However, it’s just a playground and in a personal lab nothing is that crucial to have high uptime.

    Most of the time, all your nodes will die at the same time due to power outage or your ISP fails. As you likely won’t have a fallback for these things, operating 3 nodes is likely useless.

    If you want to play with kubernes etc. you can do so on a single node too. Just spawn multiple VMs or LXCs in Proxmox. That’s enough to learn and play. Of course, having real physical nodes and a real HA cluster is different but you get what I mean hopefully.

    Personally, I would take the most modern and powerful server and keep it down to one node.
