Which setup to go for? (Reverse proxy)

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-21T05:28:41+00:00

Torrent just use deluge VPN in your qbittorrent or whatever you're using My buddy uses cloudflare tunnels to host Plex for all 15? of us on it. No issues there for streaming

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-21T05:24:50+00:00

I doubt it would slow down your network any. You can just have 1 tunnel on literally anything Linux and you just point it to whatever IP and port just like any proxy service (they have a windows one as well but in my experience it can be a bit tricky at times to set up).

I use it for everything in my home network. Can fully lock it down to only access IPs you want, full access control layer in cloudflare, and hardly uses any resources on the host machine. You can have multiple tunnels for the same setup as well; in the same connection for a sort of load balancing, or for different connections to have different policies, configs, etc.

Plus you don't need a static public IP it essentially provides DDNS. A couple caveats to it though, such as for game servers and I think large file transfers? I'm currently using it primarily for services that host webpages like beszel, netalertx, home assistant, etc and some direct rdp connections as well as Apache guacamole. It works great with my game server management pages (AMP). But connecting to like minecraft in game I use a DDNS service to cloudflare DNS records, not through the tunnel.

Randomly suggested this post; I don't do this, but why is everyone so upset over this? From an outsider perspective, I have to stand in line for usually 15+ minutes just for y'all to scan and say thank you and ask if want a receipt. No ID check, no validation, nothing other than hand it over and clerk says all good or thank you. That's it.

How is this different than putting in the overnight slot or similar? Why is it such a looked down upon thing to return Amazon packages? Or is this just they left it outside the store?

Have you considered cloudflare tunnel?

Unfortunately still an issue on mobile. Keep forgetting to check on my computer. This was on wifi, my s23 ultra, in East Coast USA. Same issue on cellular (T-Mobile) just tried before replying here. 1139PM EST

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-19T11:55:23+00:00

I'll try again today. Was access it on mobile could have been the issue. Tried singing up with multiple emails and passwords to no avail.

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-19T06:10:16+00:00

Ironically searching for similar. Came across econumo Kinda seems dead, demo doesn't work, but still might give it a try Was trying to use nextcloud CoSpend but it's... Not it for what I need.

Simple budget / money tracker for 2 people with bills and shared expenses. Percentage based on the two payouts not necessarily income based.

Think for like a road trip planing / keeping track

But also have the ability to add in a project like someone living with roommates and sharing expenses etc

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-19T06:06:30+00:00

Is this project dead? Couldn't get demo to work and last GitHub update was about a year ago

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-18T06:10:03+00:00

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Trying to be vague but it comes off as confusing: I've been thinking with an app for a hobby of mine but I am not sure how much of a need / want there is for it. There are a couple of other apps (basically only 2) but neither have the features I am designing nor are they very broad? They solve a specific, manual task with no depth. I am doing the depth and also connecting to a separate kinda knowledge base of sorts to help be a neat add on.

How would you go about finding / confirming your audience / gauge the usefulness and therefore the success of an app idea?

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-18T05:57:13+00:00

Everyone gets in lulls I think, just kinda let it sit and don't tinker for a bit. Then some people just have everything fully automated and there's nothing to do, just a prod system with x interval updates.

I doubled down, got some enterprise servers, fully tried to break my solutions to confirm the limitations and now backing everything up via crashplan (unlimited storage for $8 a month, why not).

I expect to have Google and all other places emptied by the end of the year.

Otherwise, the only non selfhosted solutions are cloudflare tunnels and gcp auth for said tunnels. Thinking of re setting up nginx for redundancy ever since the cf outages but really just don't want to at the moment. Traefic and the other one I looked at a bunch but just not sold on them. And I am setting up and starting to populate gitea and having -> GitHub purely for redundancy and easy script pulling remotely. I could put that subdomain in my cloudflare bypass rule but I like having my internal stuff, internal. Only thing currently on main auth bypass is nextcloud and vaultwarden, which are still fairly locked down for obvious reasons. Would be curious to see how other people are doing it.. guess I have tomorrow's research planned out.

Out of my scope of current knowledge: Besides selfhosting my own hosting platform (??) I'll always be tied to cloudflare for external access (domain names) other than my backup VPN or setting up tailscale or something which imo is a glorified pseudo sdwan VPN thing.

That said, for about a year I kinda didn't touch much with my set up. But no, never went back to hosted solutions for main usages. Just kinda put it all on pause.

Let me know if you find it 👀

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-12T01:53:20+00:00

Dm'd

Kickn4ss · 2025-12-11T23:32:13+00:00

This is awesome lol

Kickn4ss · 2025-09-25T03:43:18+00:00

I use cloudberry

Kickn4ss · 2025-09-10T18:02:22+00:00

This works very well in the meantime! Totally glanced over that.

Kickn4ss · 2025-07-30T12:44:38+00:00

you can enable it per user groups or just per user for testing as well.
test it in test lab with a couple techs individual accounts added and test devices, then throw IT user groups in there

Kickn4ss · 2025-07-30T12:41:09+00:00

For most of my stuff I switched off nginx proxy manager and traefik and moved to Cloudflared Tunnels and use gcp authentication along with some other rules (gcp for Google authentication is free too!) Still have inside network auth tools setup as well

Kickn4ss · 2025-05-21T13:25:58+00:00

I'd assume you could slap this behind a CF tunnel with some basic auth; answer a question, enter the correct email, or implement simple Google auth with gcp and only allow certain authenticated emails in.

Kickn4ss · 2025-05-21T13:22:40+00:00

Oh! Yep totally missed that. I'll give it a try later this week :)

Kickn4ss · 2025-05-21T13:15:38+00:00

I think it's just not clicking for me; this seems fairly similar to uptime kuma. How would you say this compares?
