First: I've tried Tailscale, for some reason it works awful for me so I'm avoiding that option if possible.

I am trying to have a single server that has a VPN port exposed to connect to it, but routes traffic through a comercial VPN (mullvad ideally) to privately share my linux ISOs. So far I haven't been able to achieve this, it sees I can't use the VPN server (wg-easy) + VPN (mullvad gui), only the one that start first work.

Has anybody achieve something like this?

I have a Thinkpad mini that needs to expand it's disagree storage and have a couple of Red 4Tb with basically no use.

I wanted to plug one of them over USB, but it seems that docker just doesn't like to have volumes on external drives. AFAIK docker starts before the drive is fully mounted, preventing it from doing so. I couldn't find any reliable way to work around this (but I'm open to suggestions!).

I was wondering if it makes sense too just get an extension SATA cable, if they even exist, and have the drive outside the case. One of the worries I have is if it will have enough power (being meant for 2.5 drives originally).

The alternative would be to either change the server itself or to buy a larger 2.5 instead to keep up for a while.

My question is mostly for games available on Steam that you would still prefer to play on Switch. I imagine performance should be better on the deck for native/proton games, but there might be something else I am missing.
