  I suggest you have 2 separate physical devices.

  1 - a NAS 2 - a server that you’re running everything on.

  Use OMV for the NAS if you’re not technical enough / want less maintenance and just keep your data there with only a backup app installed,

  On the other device pick whatever you’re comfortable with, docker is the mainstream choice, you’ll get loads of youtube / forum / lemmy support, but there’s other options of course.

  The advantage to this setup is that you can backup your server and if when you f*ck up you can restore it again.

  Less eggs in more baskets

  And as others have said, look at your router & internet security too

  Technically, all* could be. They’re just indexing the torrents that are out there.

  *all = the ones that would list TV shows, etc. of course

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you monitor your servers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this on my NAS, works well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use for alerting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends…

  If someone’s just arrived home, the freezer door’s open, etc, then I’m using Home Assistant to speak / flash a light / etc.

  If a device fails, then Uptime Kuma sends via to ntfy & gotify (I’m trying both atm to decide on one)

  If it’s something I’ve done, then my partner tells me (arms folded, stern look)

  I’m currently running both to decide which to use, what made you pick ntfy?

  SMART data will show the data you mentioned; age of the drive, max temperatire, etc.
