Iirc if you pay for it the main thing is selective sync

I mean same, I say it's worth using but I don't do it either haha.

Everything is backed up every night, so if something breaks to the point of data loss I just fix it after.

Definitely worth using specific versions on your docker images if you're doing automatic updates.

traefik:mimolette for example should keep you on 2.x versions while still getting patches and bug fixes.

Well each share can choose which devices it shows up for, so you don't really need users in that sense. But also if you run it under another user account it will have its own clean profile too.

I wouldn't worry about a specific number of cores, as that doesn't translate at all to CPU performance. Instead look at single thread performance.

So something with a Core i5-7500 on ebay for example, should be able to get one in your price range after buying more RAM.

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn't have any concept of users since it's not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar 'google drive' replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices

They have a dedicated set of servers your devices and app are connecting to, that's what home assistant is essentially replacing.

It's not just app > device, it's app > server > device.

Splitting traffic on a reverse proxy host based on various triggers is a pretty common thing for a reverse proxy to do. Caddy does it, Nginx does it, HAProxy does it.

You will need nginx in addition for traffic splitting for some services, like Synapse or Mastodon, even in docker. In NPM this is called locations

That sounds like a pretty major missing feature.

Why on earth isn't this the default behavior lol, who is out there wanting their windows to just open up randomly.

It's very minimal in normal use, maybe like an hour or two a month at most.

Yeah most things support transport encryption, SSL for example with HTTPS.
