I’ve spent the evening playing around with Netbird/Tailscale. Appears that UDP in Netbird requires Traefik, so I’ve switched over to that (wanted to do this anyway).
Turns out that Traefik is perfectly able to do the proxying over my “stupid” wireguard setup, so I’ll be running that for now and look more into it later.
I think I saw that tailscale (or netbird, the open source and selfhosted version) also can reverse proxy UDP traffic.
I’ll take a look at it later today.
As I said, I’ve got a VPS. The VPS is not on my local net, but in a datacenter. As part of being a VPS it has a unique IPv4.
My VPN (which I currently use for TCP traffic) is hosted on the VPS, giving me access to (and from) all devices connected to my VPN regardless of whether they are behind a NAT or not.
I’ve also got a beefy server which hosts more power hungry services, though this one is behind multiple layers of NAT. I can forward and reverse-proxy TCP services from the beefy server through the VPN and out to the public net using another server with a unique IPv4 just fine.
What I (and OP) need, is to also be able to forward\reverse-proxy UDP services from a beefy NATed/firewalled server through a VPN and out to the public internet using another server which has a unique IPv4.
Can’t port forward through the CGNAT of my ISP, only my own router’s NAT.
That is, unless I buy a unique IPv4 from my ISP.
The game server is probably behind a NAT. I’m standing in the same situation.
Got a small VPS with a TCP VPN to access all my devices despite location, and a comparably powerfull server behind a NAT which I would like to host UDP services on.
It needs to be said that we are talking actual VPNs here, and not “VPN-as-proxy” to spoof your location etc.
Just dropping a formatted link: !endeavouros@lemmy.zip And I’ll see ya’ll there. :)
EDIT: Also, would it be possible to get a bot to post the official EndeavourOS news? I mean, we all already read the RSS, but just in case someone doesn’t. ;)
I just changed the switches in my G604 last summer. I wasn’t sure if the mouse would survive, though I’m happy it did. The rubber is also cracking, but luckily it isn’t as bad as yours yet.
Rest in peace, prince.
Only if the software is being run on your own computer and not the cloud. Servers cost money and power.
Oh no! How is META gonna make its’ money now?!
I’m not entirely sure how “… don’t need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine” became “Debian is obviously superior to Alpine”.
… I was referencing systemd and familiarity of use in regard to OP. Debian just happened to be mentioned, it comes per default with systemd, and it’s my personal first choice for servers. Though, taking context into account, OP did say they originally came from Ubuntu and made it sound like they were trying to optimize their system since it “only” had 4(8)GB memory in total.
I do believe Debian with systemd is more similar to Ubuntu than Alpine is to Ubuntu. My point was not so much about Debian vs Alpine in general as it was specific to efficiency in regard to memory usage, with the sole reason to change to Alpine over Debian (or any OS which uses systemd, really) purely for memory savings being rather weak when systemd only uses some <50MB in memory, the computer has 4GB+ of it, and the user already is familiar with Debian-based flavors which use systemd.
So no, Debian is obviously not “obviously superior to Alpine”, just as systemd isn’t too heavy to run on computers with 4GB of RAM - unless you’re trying to push the computer to its limits.
Huh? I don’t think you need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine for something which has 4GB of RAM, unless you’re doing it for the sole purpose of pushing the machine and yourself to the limit.
I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM. I’ve run most of my public-facing homelab stuff on a 1GB VPS till recently, including multiple webservers such as FoundryVTT, and Docker containers such as a Wireguard server, Jenkins, Searxng, etc… It rarely used more than ~60% of the RAM, but I obviously couldn’t run Immich or any heavy services on it.
I actually had that up and running before they changed our modem and threw us behind their regular CGNAT. I’ve tried bridging the modem, but it’s no use if the bridge leads to their intermidiary network and not the public internet. :(
They problably hadn’t realized (or didn’t care) that we had a unique IPv4 before, so I was lucky enough that simply opening up the provided modem and my router was enough. Now they want 15€ a month for the same service, but at least it’ll be static…
