What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that’s not exposed to the internet, I’ll have to investigate which one.

    Might look into the pangolin project if what you’re trying to do is expose services from your home network over wireguard to a reverse proxy on a vps.
    The software suite is basically wireguard, traefik, and auth middleware wrapped in a trenchcoat. Much simpler than rolling your own implementation, but there has been recent controversy with the project over locking “basic” existing features behind a paywall after the project got popular, though after public backlash they’ve backpedaled on that iirc.

    Edit: Just realized you said tailscale. Above recommendation might be a deal breaker depending on your reason for wanting tailscale specifically

      All good, thanks for the recommendation. I’m using tailscale as I currently don’t want to expose anything over the Internet and also don’t mind tailscale being a freemium service. I might still look at pangolin just to expand my knowledge.
