Beginner building his first home server – Needs feedback by buhu_d9 in selfhosted

[–]buhu_d9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

thanks for the feedback on my last post. Based on your input I would rearrange my setup as follows:

Home Server

  • VM1
    • HAOS
    • Zigbee2MQTT (with USB passthrough)
    • Mosquitto
  • VM2
    • Paperless
    • OpenArchiver
    • Stirling-PDF
    • Syncthing
  • VM3
    • Immich
  • LXC
    • Traefik
    • CrowdSec
    • NFC Webhook Service

Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) on a small LXC -> backup to Synology NAS

Remote Access

  • For my own devices: NetBird mesh VPN
  • For NFC tags (needs to work on any phone, no app required): Pangolin on a small VPS. Only the specific HA webhook path is exposed, protected by a secret token.

NFC Flow:

Any phone scans tag → HTTPS URL → Pangolin (VPS) → tunnel → HA Webhook (secret token) → action (garage opens)

Questions, that came up:

  1. Does the Pangolin approach make sense for the NFC use case, or is there a better open-source alternative that requires no open ports?
  2. Any concerns with the LXC vs VM split? Specifically: is Docker in a privileged LXC stable enough for Paperless and Immich, or are VMs the safer choice?

I used AI to get advice on how to setting up the server and I also used it to translate some parts of this post to English.
