$1k for the base isn’t horrible IMO, especially if you compare it to something like the mac mini starting at $600 and ballooning over $1k to increase to 32GB of “unified memory” and 1tb of storage.

I get why people are mad about the non-upgradable memory but tbh I think this is the direction the industry is going to go as a whole. They can’t get the memory to be stable and performant while also being removable. It’s a downside of this specific processor and if people want that they should just build a PC

Nice! So you were able to get everything working?

Hey, can you elaborate a little bit more? Based on my Google search, casa-os is a front end for selfhosting? So, I would assume that you are not connecting to the right ports.

So, my assumption is: casa-os is using your port 80 and 443, so when you set up the DNS A Record, and navigate to it in your browser, it takes you to the homepage for casa-os. If this is indeed the case, then you have a couple options. You could:

1. Change the ports that casa-os is using and then rebind NGINX to 80 and 443
2. set up a second device just for NGINX (which is what I do, I use a Raspberry Pi just for network entry for stability reasons)
3. (I’ve never done this, so YMMV) you might be able to use Tailscale Serve
   • You would have it serve the port for NGINX under your Tailscale DNS name
   • Once you’re there, I imagine that you could use a CNAME DNS record or something on your custom domain in order to continue using the domains that you want, sub domains, SSL, etc.

Let me know what ends up working for you. I hope that either option 1 or 3 work, if those fail then you can definitely get it working via option 2 :)
