Setting up Tailscale Funnel

On the server with Tailscale, run tailscale funnel . You may get a message saying that Funnel is not enabled on your tailnet with a URL link. Click on the link to Enable funnel.

Ok, so Tailscale Funnel definitely does not support CNAME records. I could not get it to work unfortunately.

Using Kopia to setup snapshot backups

Well, I've had this spare 4TB hard drive laying around that wasn't particularly doing much so I decided to attach it to my ubuntu server, and just set up Kopia so write snapshots of my Immich Upload folder to it. Basically just an extra layer of backup.

Using GoAccess with Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to visuallize logs.

I mainly wanted to make sure and get this docker-compose.yml in here for future use.

Note the last couple of lines. You can set to the log file to digest all logs. However, GoAccess doesn't support any filtering per hostname, so if you want to see analytics for only a particular host name, you want would to just mount the proxy-host-1_access.log for example. npm creates one of these for each proxy host.
