I tried this a long time ago. My conclusion was that there is not really a way to install Linux on the Xbox One. There have been reports that have run Linux inside of a jail/VM, but things don’t seem to mesh correctly like network connectivity. There is a whole hacking and modding the boot chain. I gave up. LOL

Perhaps there has been progress since I last tried. Also, very possible, I didn’t have the skills to pull it off. Perhaps someone else will chime in.

What are your concerns about Cloudflare and getting ‘banned’? There used to be a clause in the TOS that prohibited streaming video. However, as one user here has pointed out, that has been since superseded. Now, I’m not going to tell you that you can share your JF with 20 other users and not raise an eyebrow with Cloudflare. I don’t have a clue what they would do in that case. As far as streaming, I run Navidrome around the house from the time I get up in the morning, until I go to bed at night, and have had no issues. There also isn’t a bandwidth cap that I can find anywhere in Cloudflare’s documentation.

Yes VLANS. Server is on one, PC is on one, My lady friend gets one because when she comes over, she gets grumpy if she doesn’t see a wall of advertisements…especially her VLAN. LOL

This is the security I’ve implemented on my network:

• Modem receiving IP from ISP. Modem to router. Router to stand alone pfsense firewall. Router has a 54 character complex password for WiFi. There are no guest provisions for WiFi.
• Pfsense firewall with pfblockerng & suricata running on both lan and wan, both with a full array of rules/feeds updated daily. pfsense has tailscale as an overlay vpn. Server traffic and PC traffic have their own VLAN provided by pfsense. My approach is to deny all until something complains and address that on a case by case basis. Additionally ntopng is utilized for traffic analysis. IPv6 is disabled.
• Server running Tailscale as an overlay VPN, UFW deny all posture, and fail2ban with an aggressive posture. Server has been hardened against Lynis spec where applicable. Not all recommendations apply to my server. Server is utilizing host deny/host allow and SSH keys.
• Server is utilizing containers for services.
• Server is using Cloudflare tunnel/zero trust.
• Server and pfsense communicate via Tailscale encrypted tunnel. PC/Phone/mobile device can communicate with pfsense via Tailscale.
• Server services are accessed via https.
• PC connected to pfsense firewall with same rules as server. PC is using a VPN with Cloudflare 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 for DNS queries. Firefox is using 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1. Settings for Firefox are the strictest for Enhanced Tracking Protection, and DOH. HTTPS-Only mode enabled. PC is also running a soft firewall.
• All other devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets run a VPN with Cloudflare 1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1 for DNS queries.
• IoT devices are isolated. Phones are isolated. Smart TVs are isolated.

I’ve been told repeatedly that I go overboard on security.

Do you guys just enjoy cybersecurity?

To the extent of my knowledge thereof, yes.

Do you actually keep sensitive data on your self hosted systems?

No I do not. No password vaults, no financial info, etc.

Do you self-host on expensive hardware?

No. In fact I just finished decommissioning one of my Dell T320s. In it’s place I put an Optiplex 7020 SFF. The Dell T320 was adding $40 USD of my electric bill, while the Optiplex 7020 sips about $8 a month, plus it doesn’t pump heat in to the lab like the T320s do. I have one more T320 to decommission and then I’ll be done with that type of equipment. I’m looking to sell the two T320s, but I’m not sure someone wants to pay to ship a boat anchor.

It’s not that the data on my server is so sensitive. I just don’t want anyone mucking around in my lab all willy nilly, which is why I run all the above and isolate everything I can, so that anyone who might get through, wouldn’t have any lateral movement,

Yup. OP was asking about bandwidth caps, I haven’t experienced any, nor can I find any documentation to support bandwidth caps. I stream Navidrome around the house from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and it has worked flawlessly.

Just deployed Cooktrace, set it up on the ol’ dashboard. Went off without a hitch. I’ll run it through it’s paces tomorrow sometime. I did go ahead and import a recipe from allrecipes.com. Had no issues importing, and it even imported the video if I want to watch them make lasagna. LOL Nice!

Can I ask, how much of a limit does the free tier have on bandwidth if you’re doing something like hosting Jellyfin?

In the past, Argo Tunnel has been priced based on bandwidth consumption as part of Argo Smart Routing, Cloudflare’s traffic acceleration feature. Starting today, we’re excited to announce that any organization can use the secure, outbound-only connection feature of the product at no cost. You can still add the paid Argo Smart Routing feature to accelerate traffic.

Cloudflare Zero Trust pricing is based on number of users. Unlike some of our peers, Cloudflare does not charge for increased bandwidth, number of app connectors, or volume of threats mitigated.

I honestly cannot find a hard bandwidth cap. Now, that is not to say that if you are sharing your JF with 20 other users, that they would not frown on that. However, from what I can tell, there is no real bandwidth cap.

On my mobile, but to give you an idea, I stream Navidrome probably 12-15 hours a day. I really don’t think they have a bandwidth limit per se, but when I get back to my desktop where I can actually see, lol, I can do some digging for you.

+1 for Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust. The free tier is more than generous for a homelab

Who’s this ‘we’ shit?

Well, I’m glad we could help you work through both your problems. It was a good day tater,

All of that was cool back in the day, but I have no inclination to go back.

Here’s a vape hosting a website: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

I’ve seen the disposable vape. That’s actually pretty wild.

You can do like @slazer2au said, or you can paste the code in here, highlight it, an click the <> symbol in the editing box menu.

I still have my Altair, complete TI99 with expansion box and a crate full of carts, and a Timex Sinclair. I don’t think you’d do much self hosting on those though

Microsoft released WSL containers, a Linux container runtime for Windows

That looks interesting.

I’ve never had an Oracle Cloud server. However, I do image backups of the server once a month, then test them in a VM, After hearing so much about Borg, I finally pulled the trigger and ran it from the cli for a while. Then I deployed Borg UI, and that’s pretty amazing. I used to use Duplicati, but while Duplicati seems great at making backups, it’s not so keen about doing restores. At least, that’s my experience.

Waiting for @philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club to come back up for air.
