  • This is what i did but on the router. I have openwrt on the router. You can install an extension called PBR (policy based routing) on it.

    Then you set up one wireguard interface that’s in the same firewall zone as your LAN to your lan and another that’s in the WAN. You can create policies to route any outbound connections (including the ones from your mobile client devices) through the commercial WAN wireguard connection.

    In addition for family members access i set up a pangolin instance (kind of like tailscale but selfhosted) on a Hezner VPS and a very simple oauth provider (pocket id) for authentication. Ive got a bunch of users and nobody had any problems with the signup process after i sent them the invite link.

    That way i can always be directly in my lan but other users can access without accessing my lan at all.


  • Surgeon.

    Seeing tech ceo’s at the trump inauguration got me sick in the stomach. I unsubscribed from everything out of spite and nausea and learned to selfhost over the course of what is almost a year now. At first it took up all my spare time and made my wife crazy. Now it’s been several weeks since i last had to sudo anything.

    It also opened my eyes to how stupid everything IT related in my country is. My municipality for example bought for what has now become a billion fucking euros a digital health record system from Epic. It’s the shittiest piece of software ive ever used, fully closed source and there’s ongoing customization costs trying to get it to work. We’re also a 100% onboard with office360 (copilot and all).



  • It’s going well. I started selfhosting most of my services on a debian machine. TV doesnt have internet anymore, it’s hooked to a fedora mini pc that i use to play media. I’ve installed Asahi fedora on my M1 Pro macbook and it’s flawless.

    Dont miss anything. The only thing that pisses me off is when i work on a document on nextcloud (using onlyoffice) it doesnt look nice on MS office. So for work stuff i have to sometimes log into ms office account and use their cloud to work on a presentation or something.

    I also kind of have to keep the OSX installation for some photography stuff although when i have the time ill look for linux alternatives. Mainly i need something to edit fujifilm raw photos with
