there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.

Why? What is the issue?

+1. Made the switch when mullvad lost port forwarding. Works quite well with Gluetun

That was indeed the case. I suppose the comment didn’t contribute much.

Just tired of seeing perfectly solid comments being downvoted with no reason provided 🤷

Downvote without explanation. Nice!

The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that’s my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server…

Advice: Look up Gluetun and dockerize your torrent/vpn setup. Makes things real simple (including moving where it is hosted, should you choose to)

…What are you talking about?

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There’s a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a “Something went wrong” page

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

Not at all! Using the one provided by LinuxServer.io, found here

Nope! My deluge server is hosted in a docker network with gluetun, and I access it from both thin clients and the web interface.

I’m a much bigger fan of the deluge thin client, personally.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what “shit hardware” is

+1 on lower tier Intel CPU mini PC. I have a slew of different boxes by Beelink, Intel, and Asus. The N95 box I bought from Beelink (basically an N100) has been one of the most impressive for being so low power, and yet handling the wealth of services I’ve been running on it (with a lot of overhead yet).

The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.

You son of a bitch, I’m in.

I’ve become a big fan of mini PC’s for home server use these days (with NAS systems for storage duties). Low power, low heat, low noise, and very affordable.

Beelink on Amazon makes a good selection of them. Always watch for sales. I have several of their machines and have been pleasantly surprised by all of them. The latest addition was one of their N95 systems with 8GB of memory. It hosts Jellyfin, Deluge, Wireguard (client and server), dns, forgejo, etc.

Its not as easy as launching from steam

Nonsense! Often adding as a non-steam game and using proton is one of the fastest ways to get up and running!

But yeah, it’s trivial
