Yeah I’ve got it swapped in macOS and it works but I can’t figure out how to do that on my Steam Deck

No one has mentioned Njalla. I haven’t used their server offerings, but they are probably the best for privacy.

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.

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

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.

Data Analysis is nice for converting files and cropping images I’ve found.

I think it depends on what kind of services they are using as I think Funnel is designed for HTTPS traffic, no UDP or custom ports.

If you’re the only one connecting to the server, I would recommend something like Tailscale. Everything will be encrypted and you won’t need to forward any ports to the public internet.

If other people need to access it, an option might be https://hoppy.network. I haven’t tried it myself, but it looks like it would be pretty slick if it works well.

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

It’s not a Termius alternative, but I found that after setting up Tailscale SSH on all my servers, I don’t really bother using Termius any more.

The plain macOS terminal looks better to me anyway

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

I’m using Mullvad through Tailscale now. Works OK. I think Proton has a free plan

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

I think it was OpenWRT

Nano (or pico). I had to use vi one time 😭

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.

https://njal.la is good in my experience

Yes. I filed a bug report.

I’m loving it but I can’t get it to work 😂

This is a dream come true. Also it’s not working at all for me but I imagine they’ll work out the kinks over the next few weeks
