I’ve been following this post since the first comment.
And I have just put together my own RAID1 1TB NAS. And I did not think that 1TB will serve me forever, more like “a good start”.
But the numbers I’ve been seeing in here… you guys are nuts 😆
AFAIK connecting to the VPN was the functionality of that older desktop app. Now they only added mobile apps
The option to connect a client to the VPN has been there in webgui since at least a month
AFAIK it always has been one https://dbtechreviews.com/2025/01/15/exploring-pangolin-the-self-hosted-cloudflare-tunnel-alternative/
It’s a WireGuard VPN with a bunch of automation to make using it as a reverse proxy easier
It’s great that Obtainium exists but that’s not my point. Behind pangolin is a company. Which in a way claims to be “one of us” - distributes open source code, with one of proper licenses, etc. Yet, when they deliver a binary, they only put it on big tech service. They didn’t say “f-droid coming”, which is normal as putting up f-droid builds sometimes takes time, not even “f-droid will be evaluated”. Maybe I’ve become a hardliner but in my book thats a few “sus points” from me
I use pangolin. I use their cloud offer and I’m preparing to move to self-hosted one. But I say: don’t throw away wireguard notes yet, pangolin might enshittify once they get a following
No f-droid? I’m very disappointed
Same as now, you only have to write in docker compose that this local file, next to docker compose should be mounted to that location inside container
Sometimes I wonder if I fail my spouse with not convincing her to privacy, or I let her make her own decisions
Here is how the Pangolin resource is configured
Use the hostname that is reachable on docker instead of IP. I think in this case that would be plex (name of docker service/container(?))
Go to access logs in pangolin dashboard and try to find out at which level the problem occurs. Where’s the last spot you see your query? Pangolin? Newt? It disappears after newt? Your plex service logs something about the query?
Maybe things have improved but some years ago I was using Synology servers at work. VMs, HA, etc. They are nice at the beginning but after some time, unfortunately, the truth is that it’s just another locked down box where whether you can tweak a thing depends if it was made possible by Synology. And while I’m not some kind of NextCloud master, I can see how it could require some tinkering from time to time. For sure it’s better to “just do it” and migrate if it’s not enough instead of not getting into the thing at all. But if I were on your spot I’d either go with something less humongous on Synology or NextCloud on docker
I started with NextCloud, mainly so I can start synchronizing Joplin notes. Maybe I could hook it up to also sync Logseq?
I chose this VTT because it’s dead simple and description on owlbear legacy did not sound encouraging
Then, on my list I have
It’s automation. Skim the link I sent. Something pops up in a log file or an API returns X instead of Y and you can do some logic based on that. Send yourself an email, ping another API, etc. Sure, you can use it to query an LLM API but that’s just marketing. Frontpages are marketing, yes
I haven’t done that myself but from https://pimylifeup.com/pangolin-linux/ I understand that will only be subdomain to access pangolin dashboard
how do I keep the vps.domain.tld while also allowing for pangolin.domain.tld to be valid at the same IP?
Domains are just translation from name to IP. What gets served on which subdomain is then handled by nginx or traefik. AFAIK you can have all 3 (VPS, pangolin and root) to point at the same IP
To me the idea of temporality of communities and no instances is interesting. It’s definitely something new
Why no-one has mentioned Delta Chat yet? https://runtimeterror.dev/self-hosted-chatmail-relay-for-delta-chat/
Nah, Joplin/Logseq would probably be enough. It’s the rest of the features where the slope gets slippery
