=== 3. Set Your Domain === # Navigate to '''System > General Setup'''. # Set your “Domain” (like “home.arpa” or “local”). # Save if you made changes. This setup lets you use hostnames for all your devices, static IPs, and even VPN clients. It’s simple, it works, and it’ll save you a headache later. Sometimes the old way just works. Static mappings make sure that this IP address of <code>192.168.5.2</code> is reserved for this computer to connect to, so that no other device can take it ''(unless they are spoofing MAC addresses but if someone inside your house is doing just to mess with you, you have bigger problems, that likely end in them getting punched in the mouth).'' <blockquote>'''NOTE:''' Static IP mappings aren’t a big deal when you have a few phones & game consoles attached to your network at home. IF you are running a server, you are running something where clients(aka other phones/computers) are going to want to consistently know where to access it. Think of your server like your favorite store. When you visit, do you want to have to look through maps to figure out what address they changed to that day? You could… but… wouldn’t it be better if they were at the same place each time you needed to go? </blockquote> '''You’ve now set up an Ubuntu Server with a redundant, encrypted secure storage configuration. This setup gives you:''' * Boot drive redundancy with RAID 1 * Flexibility for future storage management with LVM – we can resize this later if we want to get a bigger drive setup. * Enhanced security with full-disk encryption (except <code>/boot</code> and <code>/boot/efi</code>). * There are the ''“uhm akshually”'' people who will say that if you don’t encrypt boot there’s no point in all of this… ''just shut up.'' <span id="why-i-used-virtual-machines-instead-of-docker-for-some-parts-of-my-system"></span>
