  • Even on ideal conditions (close to the Equator, no clouds) like in Northeast Brazil, you only get 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m^2 of Solar energy, which means the roof of a small car, with 1 m^2 of solar panels, would only generate that amount of electricity if they were 100% efficient. That’s just 10% of the battery capacity of a small EV, like a BYD Dolphin.

    My point is, even if solar panels doubled their efficiency, they would still only capture about half the energy of the Sun (currently, the best panels are at 24% efficiency), which means only about 2.5 to 3.0 kWh per day.

    You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:

    • You expose the port used by the backend/API with a “ports:” setting on the compose file
    • Expose the socket used by the ytproxy container using a volume that points to a directory in the host

    You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.

    TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.









  • I already did a few months ago. My setup was a mess, everything tacked on the host OS, some stuff installed directly, others as docker, firewall was just a bunch of hand-written iptables rules…

    I got a newer motherboard and CPU to replace my ageing i5-2500K, so I decided to start from scratch.

    First order of business: Something to manage VMs and containers. Second: a decent firewall. Third: One app, one container.

    I ended up with:

    • Proxmox as VM and container manager
    • OPNSense as firewall. Server has 3 network cards (1 built-in, 2 on PCIe slots), the 2 add-ons are passed through to OPNSense, the built in is for managing Proxmox and for the containers .
    • A whole bunch of LXC containers running all sorts of stuff.

    Things look a lot more professional and clean, and it’s all much easier to manage.
