  I think a lot of people just haven’t heard of Caddy. Since I’ve found it I haven’t used anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Hoppy Network⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you.

  And created the firewall rules to forward (some) incoming traffic to my home server.

  I guess this is the missing piece for me. I’ve already got all of my devices and VPSes setup with Tailscale, I’m just not sure which software to use that can do this forwarding.

  I know Tailscale Funnels, Cloudflare Tunnels, and Caddy could be solutions for some, but in my experience they only do TCP or restrict what sort of traffic can be forwarded.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Hoppy Network⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. This solution looks like it might work, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternatives to Hoppy Network⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m looking to maybe replace my VPS with something like Hoppy and a Raspberry Pi (I imagine the Pi 5 8GB might be stronger than anything I can get for $8/m). I have a static public IP anyway, but I’d rather not host websites and stuff using that.

  I was looking at this the other day. It would be nice if there was a self-hosted equivalent of untitled.stream

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Port Forwarding Alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t recommend Oracle at all if you value your sanity. Paying a couple bucks a month for DigitalOcean or Vultr (or probably almost anything else) is so worth it compared to dealing with that monstrosity

  Also, I’ve experienced this, and I’ve heard reports of others having the same issue; Oracle might just randomly delete/disable your VPS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple TV's tvOS 17 brings VPN support, which Tailscale now supports.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just great! Tailscale is doing ALL the right things it seems. So happy to try this out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where to find guide on self hosting for a complete beginner?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like the other commenter mentioned, ChatGPT can be really helpful for these kind of questions. I’m not sure if there’s any “starter guide” since everyone starts with different wants and needs.

  I will say, you should look into Tailscale once you’ve got your services up and running on your home network. Tailscale makes it simple and secure to access those services from outside your home network without any port forwarding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which domain name registrar should I use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  njal.la is good in my experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another good reason not to open port 22⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is public key authentication not good enough? Tailscale is cool but can be tedious if you also use other VPNs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old PC as Server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It was slow to boot and slow over ssh.

  I found that booting and connecting over SSH went way faster once I got a better SD card. Running an install script that took half an hour was down to just a couple minutes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What ISP see when I use custom DNS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for clearing that up. But it would still be better than not having it as multiple host names/websites could point to the same IP, right?

  Also I’m not sure how you read my comment since I deleted it right after I posted it 😂. Still learning this Lemmy stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What ISP see when I use custom DNS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t want them to see your DNS requests, you can use DNS Over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS Over TLS (DoT) I think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to Postman?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using RapidAPI on my Mac. It looks quite nice, but I’ve found some parts to be a little buggy.
