I don’t understand what is the use of gluetun here. Are you trying to, say all the traffic from a laptop,to be routed through your server in your home, while you are away? If yes, can you elaborate why this is needed? Else can you give a better explanation on the setup you are trying to achieve and the results you want?

Hosting site in your local machine is tricky. It depends on how your ISP configured your network and most of the time you will be under CGNAT. Which means you will not have a unique public IP, but a shared one. Similarly your IP will be dynamic which will need additional configurations. Nowadays it is very difficult to host a site on local machine directly.

Edit: Checkout if your ISP provide unique IPv6 for your machine. This will not have issues of CGNAT, but you will have to setup DynamicDNS (DDNS) to accomate the changes in IP.

Edit: If there is CGNAT and you don’t have IPv6, then you need ‘NAT Hole Punching’. Usually services like Tailscale, ZeroTier, Amnezia, Innernet, v2ray, etc. are needed for that.

One thing you can try is Tailscale Funnel. Fair warning, bending your head around functioning of Tailscale is not trivial, and you will have to spend some time to properly understand and set it up.

If you prefer a simpler route, free hosting of a static site is your best bet.

Netlify is the go to solution if you are familiar with Git. I used to have my portfolio up there. Another option is, as you mentioned, Github Pages.

Vercel is the another common one people use. But it might be a little more tricky to get it working, because it focus on front end framework like Next.js.

Checkout Cloudflare Pages too. Very much similar to GitHub Pages, but with the performance and reliability of Cloudflare.

Heroku is another thing people used in the past. I think the free tier got limited nowadays.

Good luck with your adventures.

Haa views are here, finally. Thanks for adding the other features also I requested a while back, in the in between updates. I really appreciate the great work. Thanks.

It didn’t work like that for me. I must admit I didn’t dig deep to clearly see what is the problem. So my setup had a Windows Pc, a Raspberry Pi 5, and an Android phone, sharing a folder which had notes.

Whenever I save any changes in Windows machine, the android used gets updated without much issue, but the Raspberry Pi caused conflicts. When looked at the time stamps they were different and it looked to me like the Raspberry Pi 5 Syncthing is sending the old file as new one, because of the save time.

It read somewhere the issue is with how time is handled in Rasberry Pi. So I disabled the Raspberry Pi Syncthing and went on, because that was not really needed.

Aah my bad… I was half asleep. What I meant was use Round Sync / Syncthing to copy files to pc and then use Kopia to backup. Round Sync can do one direction copying, so source files are not corrupted.

First and foremost Syncthing is not a ‘backup’ utility. Using it for backup is not at all recommended. Especially if you are dealing with Android or Raspberry pi, because the way clock / time works in these systems are pretty weird and create sync conflicts. So don’t.

Now to the solution. For backup, use a proper backup solution like Kopia. Modern solutions support browsing the snapshots created as backups. Also creating periodic snapshots ensures better redundancy and better chance for disaster recovery.

Now if you will not use it for backup, take a look at ‘Round Sync’ available in F-Droid. It’s an application built around the execptionally good app, ‘rclone’. It is some what similar to Syncthing, but designed in a very different way. Also it is more difficult to configure to copy the files to PC.

I also wanted to mention that I have used Syncthing for many heavy lifting jobs and never faced issues with it. It is a feature complete app, with the philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it perfectly. So if you run into any issues, do reach out to forums or devs. They will definitely help you.

Try

docker run liquidtrees:micro-algae

Haa understood. In that perspective yes it is not simple. I would also be happy if pacman had better support for AUR.

But I have a different perspective on this. I always look for the right or the best tool available to do something. So I’m not that hesitant to use another tool for AUR. I guess it’s a personal preference after all.

doesn’t yay simplifies the AUR installation? Things have been pretty easy for me after I started using yay

IIRC it’s just a clone of Gitea. Default interface is Chinese. Why would a non chinese person go there when Codeberg and Forgejo is available in English?

I know the developer of this website. It’s hard paywall. You won’t be able to bypass it by modifying the elements in any sense.

As you mentioned in some other comments, only the currently archived ones will be available. If you are looking for just this specific article, let me know, I will archive and share the link here. If you are looking for a method to bypass it entirely, I don’t think it’s possible.

Also I assume you are not in a position to afford the subscription. It’s fairly decent considering the quality of articles. So whenever you can afford it, subscribe and support them. Nowadays good long form articles are non existent in Indian media.

Hey thanks for the detailed explanations.

Regarding SSO my concern is not the ChartDB team having my email, that I was planning to give anyway, but SSO provider knowing I’m using this tool. It’s a personal paranoia than anything else. I know it’s much safer and easier to have 3rd party SSO than managing your own authentication service. Done that, hated it. So not really that annoyed about it.

The Mac only part really annoyed me to the core. Then I received an email telling about Buckle, which amplified it. I think the problem is you advertise it as ‘ChartDB 2.0’ and then suddenly it becomes ‘Buckle’. I can understand the thought process behind such presentations, but really don’t like it. TBH I would not be this mad if a similar tactic was used by a large corporation. But being an open source tool I have some ethical issues with these practices.

Again, I know these are just some inconveniences, and not a scandal. So not really complaining, but just sharing how I felt. Apologies if that has been rude.

I have some critical comments not about the tool, but about another related stuff. Please look at the next section for doubts and suggestions.

The tool need to be more clear and less annoying about ChartDB v2.0.

So this is shown as some big rework, so I signed up. Only then it said only MacOS would support it initially. This was a huge disappointment and I felt kind of deceived into giving my email id I don’t remember seeing it’s only mac at the beginning on the sign up page. May be I missed.

Another thing is it looks like a different product altogether with the name ‘Buckle’. Again I didn’t see it in the sign up section. Why a new product name? Are you switching to freemium model?

Last but most importantly, why does a third party sign up for it? If you just want to inform the user when things are ready, just take the email and use it. No need to have access to my Google or GitHub account.

Apart from this terrible experience, I love the tool and how it visualises it.

I have a doubt. When I visualised my postgres db it also showed the views I had, apart from the tables. But I could not find an option to add a new view from the interface, so that I can use it as a more capable design tool. Is it a feature in the pipeline?

Also I could not find an option to set the length of Type: varchar. I remember seeing this feature in other design tools.

Sorry for the delay. I got busy. I’m not entirely sure this is a dynamic registration issue. Your screenshot points to something like a permission issue. This is a bit wild guess with very limited information.

Do you have any info saved when you attempted to register the client manually and use client id and secret?

I will try to do some tests when I get to my setup. Do ping me if you have any updates.

Oh, so no separate config is used and only env variables I guess. Is it possible for you to get the URL your app is requesting? If yes, please share a sample.

Also double check the realm name. I assume you created a new realm for your use and not using master.

Hi, I have some experience with Keycloak. So I assume you explicitly enabled you are using OIDC dynamic registration.

Can you share the config file after redacting sensitive contents?

Oh, never heard of amnezia. Never needed actually. But it looks like a good improvement on Wireguard. I will need a separate setup to test it out and currently I’m away from home with no clue when I will return. If I happen to find anything, I will definitely ping you.

In the HN page you linked many people mentioned v2ray. Have you tried that? How good is it?

Have you considered having Headscale on a cheap VPS? We are actually doing that and it is pretty capable. IIRC, you can configure not to use the tailscale servers at all, and use your own public VPS for coordination. Bonus point, tailscale hired the Headscale developer and maintainer, and they are allowed to work on Headscale while on their payroll. The team looks very much into FOSS.

I have a different experience. There was one thread which linked to a github issue. The issue said some blobs don’t have source code. Ironically when I went on to check, the blobs mentioned in the issue had source code, but there were other blobs which seemed to miss the source or build instructions.

I would love to have an independent audit to put this issue at rest. All that happens is more and more noise and no resolution. I am not a programmer so can’t really help here.

The exact setup can be achieved by tailscale, a not really known feature is you can point your domain to the, tailscale IP (new ip assigned by tailscale), and it will act just like a normal hosting setup.

Advantage, any device or someone who you do not pre approve can’t see anything if they go to the domain and subdomain. They only work if you are connected and authenticated to tailscale network. I have a similar setup, if you need more pointers please ping me.
