Hello, this is not a question on how to configure my router (maybe) it's more for the concept that I can't understand.

By the way, I only have a default isp router, that I can't even modify the dns, so I assume I'll have to buy my own.

So o want to have all my IOT devices on a different network, so as to not compromise my newly made homeserver, but what I don't get is how will I be able to turn on and off my light bulbs.

All the articles I see on creating VLANs tell something like "devices on port 2 can communicate with port 1 (internet) but cannot communicate with devices on port 3,4,5, 6..." and so on.

But if my IOTs are on a VLAN A and my Phone, computers, server are on VLAN B, how can I turn the lights on and off from my phone?

Maybe I'm getting it wrong, and my phone should also be on the same VLAN as the IOT, but then how will I connect to my server?

Thanks.

Not now, i installed it a couple of times before but never actively used it, nor do I have it installed at the moment on any machine, besides my android.

I was affected!! It's so strange, first time something like this happened to me, it's like I won a local lottery or something, don't know what to feel now.

All my newer files are still there, but the older ones and all bin, zip, tar and 7zip are not there anymore.

So glad I started the homelab / self-hosted thing a few weeks ago, I have copies of everything locally on multiple storages.

What document management solution are you using? in c/[email protected]

Jellyfin for photos? But why? You have nextcloud that does it better, and you can have immich that does it even better.

Whats the appeal of Jellyfin for this purpose? Like you won't ever sync, it's just photos stored somewhere for people to see?
