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?

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.

[-] gredo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sadly my provider won't let that happen. Except I pay for it. Or are you not talking about the public IP?

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

No I am. You have to pay for a static ip?

[-] gredo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] gredo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well it's a little complicated. I have a router, but there are several different ways to get internet to your home where I live.

  1. (default and oldest way) through the telephone network of cables and your phone cable that comes into your house
  2. Cable TV cable (coax) that comes into your house (I currently only have Sat TV here, and no cable
  3. LTE/5G
  4. FTTH is currently rolled out in smaller cities and I will get it in a few weeks.

Huh. That all seems wildly complicated to me but thats just since I don't live with the system.
