innernet VS Talkyard

Innernet is a barebone alternative. https://github.com/tonarino/innernet

Very relatable! At first, I struggled for days trying to make Netmaker or Innernet functional for my personal home server (Raspberry Pi behind multiple routers). But then I stumbled upon ZeroTier, and everything worked seamlessly within a couple of hours. Tailscale was actually the next one on my list because I heard many positive things about it over at r/selfhosted (especially about headscale). However, I did not end up testing it after ZeroTier worked.

Not if you are running wireguard without any management client/server like Netmaker or innernet or any of the many others like them.

I use the GCP free instance as my innernet coordination server (Wireguard mesh vpn). Which is extremely low traffic.

Or why not the open source tool innernet? https://github.com/tonarino/innernet

I wonder if this might improve over a more modern transport, if you were using an IPSec VPN.

Wireguard is enabling us to re-think what's possible over a VPN. Here's an example of what I mean. The network stack is based on Wireguard, with https://github.com/tonarino/innernet providing the topology and identity provisioning.

Recently I considered replacing the Talkyard comments solution on my notes here with something I've built myself. To do that I need a database. I was looking at different Postgres hosting options when I recalled I had seen buzz from developers on Twitter about Supabase. I wondered if that could be my database host?

I switched to TalkYard, which has been a much better experience. They're OSS, they support both blog posts and full-fledged forums, and the maintainer is extremely responsive and active.

Talkyard

Hello! Here there will be discussions about the software named Talkyard, and related things. (https://github.com/debiki/talkyard)

Maybe then it'd make sense if I mentioned Talkyard (which I'm developing) https://www.talkyard.io (open source) — it has automatic upgrades. There's not yet any plugin system, instead currently "everything" is built-in, and there are (unfortunately) fewer features.

We are using https://www.talkyard.io to set this up - it is a stackoverflow-esque community interface with a bit of slack mixed in.

You may be using Discourse but you should be using TalkYard.
