I'm stuck. WebDAV FileBrowser Dietpi

Yes, because I constantly switch VPN on and off because other applications like AndroidAuto no longer have to work like that. My family doesn’t even know the word VPN and they should also be able to save their data there.

I think I’m more likely to fail because of the problem that the SSD is not the main memory in the Pi and that I think I’m more likely to fail because of the problem that the SSD is not the main memory in the PI and I can’t directly access these files via MyFritz-Linkn via my router.

None of that is true at all. With a RPi5, you can run the system directly from the SSD. That’s how my RPi5 works. I don’t use a SD card at all.

What’s more, every service or app can be accessed from outside the network. Even via MyFritz. It doesn’t matter at all. MyFritz is nothing more than a DDNS service, just like any other.

I think the translation doesn’t work well.

It’s not the translation. I think that works perfectly well. We know what you’re looking for, and we’ve already suggested three options. None of them seem to be to your taste. There’s no ‘click-a-single-button’ solution. You’ll need to adjust a few settings at the very least.

Thank you for trying to help me. I’ve found that I can’t reach the PI because I don’t know which ports I have to release to access the PI directly. If I do this via MyFritz, port 80 is automatically chosen. Everything is placed on the PI without SSL in the home network. Then I have to continue with Chertbot again. I can’t do all that.

One last question, is it better to keep the operating system and applications on the SD card in the long term, or can I also install the system on the SSD. The background of the question is related to the longevity of the medium.

Somehow, there are still plenty of misunderstandings or misconceptions.

It depends on the configuration. Nothing that can’t be adjusted.

That depends on the application. For a web server app like Nextcloud, the ports are 80/443. Other applications use their own or different ports. For the apps we provide via dietpi-software, this information can be found in our online documentation.

With MyFritz, you can also forward more than just port 80. I can easily activate MyFritz on my FritzBox and still forward ports 80 and 443 to a backend device. Importantly, you can forward a specific port to just one device.

Ports are always forwarded to a single device only. Not to the entire network. In other words, only that one device does not have SSL. But even that can be easily sorted out in a web server application like Nextcloud using dietpi-letsencrypt

dietpi-letsencrypt can easily automate this. You can also configure it so that requests on port 80 are automatically redirected to port 443.

Nothing is holding you back, except yourself

I’ve already mentioned that above. An SD card is the worst medium for continuous use.

Just to give you an idea of how to secure a Nextcloud instance via HTTPS and make it accessible on the web. It’s a bit old now, but it provides a good insight. The bit about DDNS isn’t quite accurate anymore, but that shouldn’t matter in your case as you’re already using MyFritz for DDNS.

I just made it after days of trying it out! :zany_face:

You can’t imagine how that feels right now!

Thank you! Nextcloud with the WebDAV Link made it possible. Finally, SSL was the problem I had to solve.

All these things are clear to you, I’m a construction worker. :smiley: So many things have to work together so that the result works with software.

I would like to burden the SSD as little as possible in order to be able to use it for as long as possible. Should I copy the system to another SSD? I have pihole and think it writes and reads all the time. So the NVMessd ages faster or am I wrong?

To connect to my Android and Nextcloud.I have now established a connection to Nextcloud via Myfritz, all via an https link. Is that reasonably safe? Of course with user and PW?

I would always choose a SSD over a SD card. First, a SSD is much faster, and second, it lasts much longer than a SD card. SD cards are much more likely to break.

Pihole itself isn’t a problem at all. It’s configured to write data no more than once every 10 minutes.

it should actually

Thank you!

May I ask another question that has nothing to do with the post created or should I create a new one?May I ask another question that has nothing to do with the post created or should I create a new one? :blush:

Yes please

Is there a tool that automatically remounts external hard drives when I reconnect them?

You mean you’re plugging in the HDD while the system is running, and you want it to mount automatically without using our Drive Manager? We don’t have a feature like that. It has been requested in past already, but did not get implemented yet. DietPi-Drive_Manager | Hotplug mount+fstab using udev rules · Issue #3339 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub

You could create a udev rule for that. There are a couple of ideas within the forum and on GitHub. Need to say, I never tested them myself.

Yes, exactly, for example to briefly connect a USB stick and copy data. Ok, I’ll take a look at it.

I would like to clean up the system after all the days with try&error.

When I search for it I find commands like Systemctl list-dependencies <service_name>.

When I enter Nextcloud as a service, I only see Nextcloud. But I saw during the installation that Nextcloud also installed Apache Server, for example.

Is there anything I can use to find out what I don’t need anymore? I feel like there are too many services running.

I only need Pihole, Nextcloud, SMB, Dashboard, and Syncthing.

Nextcloud is not an own app. It’s a web server application. It is based on Redis, MariaDB, PHP and a web server (in your case Apache).

Ok, and how can I now check whether all services are really needed in the system?

All the services on your screen shot are needed
