I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it’s all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers (it automatically updates it’s own cached server list from your provider, through the VPN connection itself)

Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.

I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

Supposedly comaps has carplay support as of like 2 months ago, according to a page on their website

I use slskd connected to a VPN and it works great. I just run a gluetun container and then attach the slskd container to it with network mode service, same as you would connect transmission to gluetun.

Sounds like a job for a pair of second hand nanobeams or something similar.

I second the other commenter who suggested using WISP gear. If you have clear fresnel zones it should work a treat.

I second this. Gluetun makes it so easy, working with docker’s internal networking is such a pain.

You are the perfect example of someone who is knowledgeable and gets offended when everyone else doesn’t know

So you saw me use some acronyms and then projected your idea of an unhelpful knowledgeable person onto me. That shit is so annoying dude, knock it off. If you go around assuming bad faith of everyone just because they know shit, then you’re only causing yourself to have the experience of nobody wanting to help.

Stop acting like it’s so easy to do

You’re literally making this up. Again, I never claimed it was easy to do. You’re just so eager to hate on a certain community that you’ve decided anyone who appears to know anything is automatically an unhelpful asshole. And it’s making you an annoying asshole.

This place is such a bubble of people who think the entire world thinks just like them.

Your attitude notwithstanding, you’re literally the one who came in hot acting like you’re enlightening us with the revelation that the cheaper open source alternatives are harder to set up. No shit. If you haven’t invented the idea that I’m saying it’s just as easy, then how do you figure that we live in a bubble when I literally agree with you? Spare us the condescension, please.

Jesus, get offended a little?

You’re literally doing the “triggered?” meme where you behave like a jerk and then act surprised when people don’t put up with it.

Well then maybe you should whine to DeathsEmbrace that they are wrong for only complaining about the price then.

I never claimed it was easier and you shouldn’t assume that was my claim or had anything to do with what I was saying. You’re literally just making up things that you think I said so that you can get mad about it.

If DeathsEmbrace had said that setting up your own is harder, I literally would have said yeah, it’s harder. But that’s not what they said. They said it was unaffordable. And you seem to agree with me that it’s not, since your point is that it’s about ease of use and not price - which is exactly my view.

Generic onvif/rtsp cams are a dime a dozen and work with any NVR program that supports open standards. We’re talking $30ish for stuff that’s weatherproof, wifi, some with backup batteries, pan tilt zoom, 2 way audio. Cheap indoor models are like $20. It all runs locally if you install one of the several free NVR programs on a computer on your LAN.

Immich has a setting that does automatic photo backup over WiFi, I use the android app as a Google photos replacement. You can choose however many folders on your phone as you want (I just do camera roll) and enable only backup over WiFi and it backs up all the photos in original quality. I self-host the server on my Synology with a reverse proxy (can’t forward ports at my current place due to cgnat) so I can access it from anywhere.

I believe the app is cross platform so the iPhone version should be identical to the android one.
