I’d guess that you have another DNS server on your network which is trying to get the list of root name servers (what the . means) via AdGuard.

I’d guess that there are so many queries because something is going wrong with it’s attempt to get the root name servers from AdGuard so it’s doing it over and over (because it can’t function without them).

I understand why, I just wish there was a way to do notifications without a centralised, internet connected server.

One of the things I do is build communications systems for scientific crews who are often working in places with local wifi but no internet. They’d really like to have a Matrix server (or similar) they can use to send each other messages. But as far as I’ve been able to determime this is currently impossible. :-(

Deltachat is the best solution I’ve been able to find.

Sadly, I believe web push notifications still go through a centralised server provided by the browser developer.

You’re asking r/selfhosted where to not selfhost something.

I just checked the docs and didn’t see anything about ntfy accepting smtp? This would be useful, what am I missing?

I managed OpenLDAP servers professionally for years. You don’t want to use OpenLDAP unless it’s something you want to learn about.

LLDAP (or GLAuth) does everything you need in a homelab context for a fraction of the effort, complexity, and hassle.

Assuming it’s a Linux server at home and you can use SSH on your work computer, there’s a couple ways to do this.

  • Install a web based terminal client
  • Setup Cloudflare tunnels on your home server and use the the SSH proxy. I do this with a simple helper in ~/.ssh/config:
Match host "*.cf"
  ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/cloudflared access ssh --hostname $(echo %h | sed 's/\.cf$/.homelab.nz/')
  ForwardAgent yes
