Last I checked the pings and curls from inside the container worked. I think I even checked that I was coming out of the mullvad vpn and all seemed fine, but qBittorrent was telling me it couldn’t reach any trackers.

it could be due to the trackers blocking VPN users.

Hmm I’ve never even thought about it like that but sounds plausible, I’ll look into that more later, thank you.

Thank you for putting into perspective for me. That actually helped not stressing out about it so much. My life doesn’t depend on these services working, I’m not a heavy user anyways. It just itched me that I’ve felt like I’m 95% there to the perfect setup but just couldn’t get there.

That’s what I figured as well. I probably wouldn’t be a super seeder (sorry) but to my understanding it should work without port forwarding somehow.

From what I’ve read mullvad stopped openVPN support, so that might be the issue there

Great post and great discussion here, thank you all for all this food for thought and new services to explore.

I started self hosting 4 weeks ago on a small Dell Wyse with a 2 TB external SSD plugged in. I’ve been using YunoHost as the backbone of everything and so far it’s been a blast.

It now has Immich, Calibre-Web, Jellyfin, Navidrome and more running on it. Soon I’ll hopefully replace my iPhone with something more privacy focused.

I‘ll see how well it‘ll work when I’ll eventually want to install something that isn’t directly supported as a „native“ yunohost app.

Money being considered to be a “fact of life“ is the sad part here. It’s not a natural system that just is and we cannot change. That doesn’t mean I disagree with you. I‘d be upset not getting a paycheck at the end of this month and rely on money like everyone else because we live in this late stage capitalist hell. But I refuse to accept any monetary system as a natural given, that’s probably all i‘m trying to say.

I need to know more about the backstory of this image. Mostly not because of those impressive thighs but because of that long ass chainsaw. Is that thing real?!

I don’t think they’re doing a lot of disguising? They openly introduced themselves and asked for feedback lol
