  • How a reverse proxy like Cloudflare works in front of kub clusters?

    As an alternative to traditional ingress, you can use cloudflared to expose web apps on Cloudflare via encrypted tunnels: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

    It's not an issue anymore. Your main concerns are power and internet stability. Plus, upload speed. The rest can be worked out.

  • How to set a static IP?
    2 projects | /r/klippers | 3 Feb 2023
    I would suggest a reverse proxy tunnel. There is a great and mostly free one I personally use by Cloudflare. You will need a domain, cloudflare account and install the cloudflared client on your machine. For security you can lock down this tunnel in many ways as cloudflare gives you many many options. Zero trust is a good one to look at if you are wanting to secure what ever you want to expose with a login through google or GitHub.
  • Nextcloud ! Why is it so F*ing difficult to setup!
    15 projects | /r/selfhosted | 16 Jan 2023
    I shared the same feeling until I gave up on "fixing" nextcloud for external access. Slapped cloudflared tunnel on it. You may have to disable Rocket Loader to get the homepage to work properly but after that it just works.
