I never got into mastodon because I couldn’t connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though).
Reading about the fediverse got me thinking. What other use cases could you think of? Maybe outside social media?
Would a fediverse password manager be more or less secure than some company owned pm?
How about “clones” of other social media like FB and Insta, TikTok?
What about a blogging community like Medium?
Other ideas?
On the topic of a PM, its probably best to self host one. Any multi user PM, regardless of company or community backed, will become a target once its big enough. Vaultwarden takes an hour at most from scratch to host on a raspi. I highly reccomend it as a first time project :)
Does Vaultwarden do their own reverse-proxying, routing etc like e.g. Plex? I use my PM on my mobile all the time from everywhere and last time I tried setting up DynDNS or so it really didn’t work. Maybe I need to invest more time.
Plex doesnt techincally do reverse proxy but I understand what you mean. Vaultwarden doesnt but its rather easy to set up. I haven’t used DynDNS but I have mine running through traefik on my truenas scale machine. Grab a cheap domain, learn the minimum amount of networking and youre good to go. If you need any help you can pm me :). Scale makes the SSL cert delivery very easy but its not hard to do outside of scale either. Ive done it through both a Scale Box and just basic ass ubuntu server, so piOS should be easy as well given that you can run docker on it.
I know traefik, need to check out the scale machine though. How can I access it though if I don’t have a static IP and no DNS? I might use my routers VPN, but that wouldn’t work for my non-technical wife.
Ive set a static IP manually in my router.
I quite like truenas Scale, but it wont work for everyone. I have my whole *arr stack hosted on it and vaultwarden was just something I learned I could do lol.
Sadly my provider won’t let that happen. Except I pay for it. Or are you not talking about the public IP?
No I am. You have to pay for a static ip?
Yeah, in Germany if you don’t have Internet over cable you get a flexible IP. Not sure how it is with ftth which we will get in a few weeks.
Wait do you not have a router? Or do you mean its satalite internet.
