Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I’m more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.

If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I’d buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can’t get access to my home lan.

Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.

The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc… but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there’s a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you’re running on your network or in nginx, etc… attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.

But here is exactly what I’ve done:

1. Bought a domain so that I don’t have to remember my IP address.
2. Setup DDNS so that the A record for my domain always points to my home ip.
3. Run a wireguard server on my lan.
4. Port forwarded the wireguard port to the wireguard server.
5. Created client configs for all remote devices that should have access to my lan.

Now I can just turn on my phone’s VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.

P.s. there’s additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that’s slightly beyond the original ask here.

A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:

You can use the CLI tool to “upload” them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.

Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won’t move or manage the actual files. I’m not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.

There might be other options that I’m not aware of, as I’ve only been using Immich for about a month now.

Edit: link to the CLI documentation: https://immich.app/docs/features/command-line-interface/

Not saying a tool like this isn’t helpful for you but personally I don’t think I’d ever trust a service to analyze my code and provide accurate comments. There’s so many little quirks and ultimately nuance in what is written vs what and why it’s doing it that I’d never expect anyone but the original author of the code to get it right.

So the builder pattern is supposed to solve the problem of: if you have a large number of optional fields that may or may not need to be set to construct your object. Then once the dev has called all of the setters that they require, they call build to fully realize that object.

Some rules that all builders should follow:

• All setters SHOULD represent optional parameters. (Or ones that have a default value). If a parameter is required for all instances, include it in the constructor of the Builder itself.
• All setters SHOULD return a copy of the Builder. This way you can chain calls off of each other.
• Setters SHOULD do nothing more than store the provided value in a field local to the builder itself and then return itself (or a copy of itself).
• You MUST expose a .build() method that will return the fully realized object. This method should essentially call the constructor for your target object using all of the parameters, regardless if a setter was called or not. Obviously any value where the setter wasn’t called will be null or some default value.

Same. Honestly I need to create a community just for this tool IMO. But I don’t have the time to moderate it.

I’m open to feedback though if the search results seem out of order etc…

That looks like 8.8.8.8 actually responded. The ::1 is ipv6’s localhost which seems odd. As for the wong ipv4 I’m not sure.

I normally see something like requested 8.8.8.8 but 1.2.3.4 responded if the router was forcing traffic to their DNS servers.

You can also specify the DNS server to use when using nslookup like: nslookup www.google.com 1.1.1.1. And you can see if you get and different answers from there. But what you posted doesn’t seem out of the ordinary other than the ::1.

Edit just for shits and giggles also try nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx… is the wrong up from the other side of the world and see what domain it returns.

Another thing that can be happening is that the router or firewall is redirecting all port 53 traffic to their internal DNS servers. (I do the same thing at home to prevent certain devices from ignoring my router’s DNS settings cough Android cough)

One way you can check for this is to run “nslookup some.domain” from a terminal and see where the response comes from.

Cloudflare? Namecheap?

Not sure exactly what features you’re after but the vast majority of them support what you mentioned above.

Btw I appreciate the fediverse and decentralization as much as the next guy, heck I’m even writing software for the fediverse. But I feel like there’s a handful of people out there that want to try and apply the fediverse concept to everything. Similar to what happened with Blockchain. Everyone and everything had to be implemented via Blockchain even if it didn’t make sense in the end.

IMO though, GitHub is just one “instance” in an already decentralized system. Sure it may be the largest but it’s already incredibly simple for me to move and host my code anywhere else. GitHub’s instance just happens to provide the best set of tools and features available to me.

But back to my original concerns. Let’s assume you have an ActivityPub based git hosting system. For the sake of argument let’s assume that there’s two instances in this federation today. Let’s just call them Hub and Lab…

Say I create an account on Hub and upload my repository there. I then clone it and start working… It gets federated to Lab… But the admin on Lab just decides to push a commit to it directly because reasons… Hub can now do a few things:

1. They could just de-federate but who knows what will happen to that repo now.
2. Hub could reject the commit, but now we’re in a similar boat, effectively the repo has been forked and you can’t really reconcile the histories between the two. Anyone on Lab can’t use that repo anymore.
3. Accept the change. But now I’m stuck with a repo with unauthorized edits.

Similarly if Hub was to go down for whatever reason. Let’s assume we have a system in place that effectively prevents the above scenario from happening… If I didn’t create an account on Lab prior to Hub going down I now no longer have the authorization to make changes to that repository. I’m now forced to fork my own repository and continue my work from the fork. But all of my users may still be looking for updates to the original repository. Telling everyone about the new location becomes a headache.

There’s also issues of how do you handle private repositories? This is something that the fediverse can’t solve. So all repos in the fediverse would HAVE to be public.

And yes, if GitHub went down today, I’d have similar issues, but that’s why you have backups. And git already has a solution for that outside the fediverse. Long story short, the solutions that the fediverse provides aren’t problems that exist for git and it raises additional problems that now have to be solved. Trying to apply the fediverse to git is akin to “a solution in search of a problem”, IMHO.

I don’t get what benefit hosting your own git brings to be honest

Just another level of backup. Personally I tend to have:

1. A copy of my repo on my dev machine
2. A copy on a self hosted git server. Currently I’m using gitbucket though.
3. A copy on GitHub.

This way I should always have 2 copies of my code that’s accessable at all times. So that there’s very slim chance that I’ll lose my code, even temporarily.

IMHO federation doesn’t bring any real benefits to git and introduces a lot of risks.

The git protocol, if you will, already allows developers to backup and move their repositories as needed. And the primary concern with source control is having a stable and secure place to host it. GitHub already provides that, free of charge.

Introducing federation, how do you control who can and cannot make changes to your codebase? How do you ensure you maintain access if a server goes down?

So while it’s nice that you can self host and federate git with GitLab, what value does that provide over the status quo? And how do those benefits outweigh the risks outlined above?

Let me introduce you to https://sense.com/ and help you create a new obsession.

P.s. it’s not perfect as it uses machine learning to determine your appliances and it can’t find electronics like your computer or TV but it’ll help you find what might be chipping away at your power bill.

Ya, I’ve got a few public services out there and I would love for a better way to manage them. But the fewer ports I open the better. I think there’s also portainer edge agent that’s more secure for prod environments, but I’ve yet to look into it much.

Slightly off topic, but are there not security concerns about opening up a portainer instance to the internet? I run portainer for all of my intranet hosted containers but I have reservations about running either the agent or portainer itself on something external to my lan. It seems like an easy attack vector but maybe I’m just overly worried?
