fpm VS zrok

If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.

I'm the lead developer on an open source product called zrok (https://github.com/openziti/zrok). zrok is a peer-to-peer sharing tool for network and file-based resources, similar to tools like ngrok.

fwiw, its back up. stars for zrok and ziti (i.e., the parent repo) are super appreciated!

Tailscale makes outbound connections so it circumvents the need for IPv6 with things like CGNAT.

OP, why not use an open source equivalent to Tailscale Funnel? For example, I work on the OpenZiti project and we created zrok.io which is fully open source alternative - https://github.com/openziti/zrok.

Here's a Dockerfile from the zrok repo you might find helpful: https://github.com/openziti/zrok/blob/main/docker/images/zrok/Dockerfile

I've started with a RPi 1 Model B rev 2 (armv61) running dietpi, which should be fine for Pihole but I'm also thinking of using it to run software to control remote access to my server, which could be Tailscale or Wireguard but zrok looks interesting. Unfortunately that doesn't have a armv61 version, only armv7 Releases · openziti/zrok (github.com) so I couldn't run it on this RPi.

I work on the open source OpenZiti project. We recently released zrok (https://zrok.io/), we have Local Debugging Interface in the backlog - https://github.com/openziti/zrok/issues/73.

The project is currently in public preview for a short period of time. While it may not have feature parity to existing solutions, we are rapidly improving it and hope you can help us improve it through testing, feedback, questions, comments, or contributing code. If you would like to test zrok.io yourself, please DM me or reply in our discourse. If you want to play with zrok and self-host, just go to https://github.com/openziti/zrok.
