  • Then I would suggest you to take a look at Reverse Proxies, which are programs that let you publicly expose different services hosted on the same computer under different (sub)domains.

    The easiest to start with (and also probably the one that better fits your needs) afaik is NGINX Proxy Manager, which can be set up really easily using docker, and you can find plenty of tutorials online (here is one I watched when I was starting to look into docker and selfhosting, it’s a bit old but should still be valid).

    If after having set up that you will to thinker around it a little bit and dive a bit deeper, there’s also Traefik which is pretty cool and also has a lot of materials to learn online.

    I don’t remember if the video I linked mention it or not, but to use a reverse proxy to expose your services on the web you will first need to set up a dynamic dns (probably the easiest way is to use Cloudflare) or to ask your ISP for a static IP, then go into your routers settings and find the Port Forwarding section where you should tell your routers to send all the incoming traffic from ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the local IP of your server. And then you should be ready to use spin up Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik on your server.

    (idk if I was clear or not but I swear it’s easier that how it seems ahah)


















  • Ahahah sorry, I know what Authy is.

    Mine wanted to be a way to say that after I discovered Ente Authenticator (the link I attached), which is another 2FA app that keeps an encrypted backup of your codes and lets you access them on multiple platforms and it’s foss, I “almost forgot about Authy” since Ente Auth replaced it perfectly for my use case.

    I thought that since is not a very famous project others could have found it useful

    Matrix is a communication protocol, such as IMAP+SMTP communication protocols that are behind emails. This means that the “communication stack” when you use Matrix, as well as when you use emails, can be summarized in 3 parts:

    • the client (the app you use to chat, such as Apple Mail or Outlook for emails, Element or FluffyChat for Matrix)
    • the provider (who is offering you the service, such as gmail.com or yahoo.com for email, matrix.org or chat.mozilla.com for Matrix)
    • the server (the app that your provider runs to let you chat, for emails all most famous providers have their own proprietary servers, for Matrix the two main options for server are Synapse or Dendrite)

    I haven’t read the article properly yet, but from what I’ve understand for now it seems Commune.sh aims to build a new client for Matrix that reproduces the layout and features of Discord, while at the same time being based on an open communication protocol and therefore having all its related benefits.

    Seems pretty promising, I’m gonna keep an eye of it 👀
