Can anyone recommend a VPN that has working port forwarding?

I found out about njal.la about 2 weeks ago, they give you one ipv4 and one ipv6 for €5 monthly, with all ports open.

No GUI though, they provide OpenVPN and Wireguard configs, which works fine for my server.

I think they only have their servers on Sweden IIRC, but at least in my experience the speeds with the Wireguard config have been great.

So far I don't have any complains about them. Having all ports open makes setting it up on the torrent client really easy.

how to set up jellyfin with podman and selinux and an intel gpu (a380) for transcoding?

I can speak at least for rootless podman, I spent some hours on it and different ways I tried all ended in permission issues.

I gave up on trying to do it properly and just set the permissions of the /dev/dri device to 666, so that my podman container can use the gpu for transcoding.

Part of the issue with the container images that I tried is that they create a new user with whatever uid:gid I pass to the container, and so even if my nonroot user is part of the render group, the new user inside the container is not and so it can't write to the /dev/dri/renderD128 (gpu), and so transcode wouldn't work.

That's where I left the troubleshooting at cause it was being a headache

How can I bypass CGNAT by using a VPS with a public IPv4 address?

I managed this by using tailscale, with a kind of weird setup I think, but it just works.

I have tailscale on the VPS and my local server, let's say its tailscale name is potatoserver

Then with Caddy on the VPS i have something like:

mywebsite.com { reverse_proxy potatoserver:port }

And so mywebsite.com is accessible on the clearnet through the VPS

Though given you're getting rid of cloudflare tunnles I don't know if you'd want to get into Tailscale. There's Headscale too but I haven't worked with it so I can't comment

Plex behind cloudflare tunnel

So far this is the only place I've seen mentioned regarding video streaming, that is still up anyway:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/more-dashboard-apps/cloudflare-stream/delivering-videos-with-cloudflare/

It's not entirely clear and I don't know if this is outdated or not.

I was using their proxy for video streaming for a while, but stopped cause I would rather not risk it. Maybe for personal use it could be ok

Partition layout recommendations

I would say option 3.

I can share my current setup in case you're interested.

I recently moved back to Tumbleweed, and did the following:

/ -> 50GB, BTRFS, currently 13GB used I think

/home -> 800something GB, BTRFS, same drive

/boot/efi -> 512MB i think, same drive

Then a separate drive mounted to a folder in my home directory, for games mostly.

So far it eworks well, at least for me. BTRFS snapshots are working fine too. Flatpaks I have installed as user so they get installed in my home directory.
