actual-server VS chisel

- https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server

I'd be curious what some other options are.

Regardless, this week's newsletter features a number of software updates and launches as usual, and also includes a self-hosted spotlight on Actual Budget, a self-hosted budgeting application.

Actual Budget (paid service stopped, open sourced, needs some technical knowledge)

ynab is the most popular one but I've recently moved to actual budget which might work if you're technically inclined.

If you're tech savvy then this is the closest and best I've found to YNAB: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server

Home Assistant and more recently Actual to know when I can buy more gadget for HA :)

chisel - SSH under the hood, but still uses a custom client binary. Supports auto certs from LetsEncrypt. Written in Go.

Looking at the perf https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/blob/master/test/bench/pe... it looks not too bad!

I have a few TCP based utilities. I was thinking I need to make websocket equivalents for it to work on the web, but happy to see this project, I will be evaluating this soon, it should save me some time.

Thanks for sharing!

Personally I use https://github.com/jpillora/chisel as a reverse Proxy through nginx, then connect through it using OpenVPN to bypass a similarly restrictive firewall. But this discussion is filled with other, similar hacks, I may have to try some of them.

To keep everything secure, each chisel client has a separate TLS private key. That lets my reverse proxy authenticate the client before allowing a connection to the Chisel backend service. And on the Chisel backend service side, the --auth= part allows that particular client to bind to the specific XXX port within that Docker container. https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/blob/master/example/users.json

I love it in the context of hacking actually. When working on HackTheBox machines or other CTFs you sometimes need to deploy tools onto the machine like these:

rclone and chisel. rclone is a high quality swiss-army knife for selfhosting. It does a lot of things and it does all of those things surprisingly well. chisel provides an TCP/UDP tunnel over websockets. When heroku used to be free, I had a couple of chisel instances running on Heroku, which I would use, occasionally, to quickly access any of my locally hosted apps or servers.
