    So the difference here is you are manually doing a thing for your backups. Using a self hosted server and something like immich will seamlessly do it for you. If you drop your phone in the toilet and it breaks, the photos you took since your last manual backup would be saved.

    Immich isnt meant to be a photo gallery viewer primarily, it is meant to be a self hosted photo backup service to replace stuff like icloud or google photos. So yeah, dont recommend it as a gallery viewer, recommend it as a selfhosted image backuo service.

    I self host a jellyfin service on my nas, and keep all my movies and shows on that nas. I wouldnt be able to fit all that stuff on my phone.

    I worked in an office that was paying out the ass for google drive. Setting up a self hosted nextcloud was a great solution and saved them a bunch of money, and still worked as a hands off “cloud solution”

    If you dont want to run a separate machine to self host some services thats fine, you dont need to do it. its not for everyone. But plenty of people have reasonable motives for doing it.

Looking for a python friendly cloud-based notes app.

I’m working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window…

tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn’t get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

I should note i do not have a server available to self host. could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.

      No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.

      Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi’s wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.

      Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.

      For me a hotspot has been the least headache

      Edit: just looked at your link. I think for the time being im going to use tailscale. Its a restaraunt, and they dont have a self-hosted server. Im trying to get around opening ports, so using an existing service. Your link did make me aware of cloudflare tunnels whick looks like it allows 50 users on a free plan vs tailscale’s 3. Although the 3 might work for them, I’ll have to check. Ill probably drop in an ngrok tunnel too so i can maintenence the pi remotely. (They are in a different state) i was mostly looking for advice on how to connect a port on one machine to another over a lan, and socat looks perfect

      Actually, i found socat which seems to work just fine so far, and appears to be a standard linux command.

      socat TCP4-LISTEN:8096 TCP4:192.168.86.2:8096

      Thats a test i did with jellyfin at home

      Something ive noticed from using wireguard from my phone is my traffic across the board slows down significantly while connected because everything is routed back home.

      With tailscale can the user be connected, and only have a specific ip/domain routed through it? I also dont have access to the dvr’s internal system to run tailscale from it.

      Anyway thanks for the lead, im reading up now

    Tunnelling a port from a separate computer

    English

    I have a client with locally hosted security cameras. There is a DVR box that has a port open and a 3rd party app you can view the cameras from. Traditionally we have been forwarding the port to the WAN via the router there. Its a restaraunt btw.

    When the ISP upgrades the router every few years there’s a huge headache trying to get the ports back open and bridging the modem and router blah blah blah. Not only this, even though they are supposed to have a static wan ip, it does change from time to time.

    What i would like to do is plug in a raspberry pi on the network and forward the DVR’s ports somewhere accessable.

    Im thinking of something along the lines of wireguard, but just for a single ip/port that i can tunnel over ngrok. Seems doable but i’m having trouble finding the proper terms to google. Port forwarding generally brings up router config, and tunnelling seems to expect you to be on the device who’s ports you wish to access.

    Any advice?

      wireguard on freebsd

      English

      I am trying to setup a wireguard server on freebsd using this guide. the only thing i’ve done different is make the AllowedIPs 0.0.0.0/0

      I seem to have messed something up because when I have wireguard running, i cannot ping or curl anything from the server. It doesn’t take down the machine though, I am still able to ssh into the server.

      I still have yet to get the client to actually connect, but i assume this networking issue is a potential cause. googling doesn’t seem to help me find anyone with my same issue.

      my wg0.conf is as follows

      [Interface] Address = 10.96.100.1/32 # address the server will bind to

      ListenPort = 51820 # listener port

      PrivateKey = [redacted]

      [Peer] #phone

      AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

      PreSharedKey = [redacted]

      PublicKey = [redacted]
