wg-easy VS DietPi

Check out wg-easy on GitHub. There is also a wg with pinole on their page. Works so easily together. https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy

sounds like you just want wg-easy.

This wg-easy?

Definitely not an OSI approved license, but does look like they made an attempt in the spirit of GPL, no?

wg-easy running in Docker. Then access it using WireGuard on my mobile devices.

Just plain wg-easy (wireguard with frontend). No 3rd parties involved, just me & my endpoint

I suggest running a VPN server like wireguard (very easy to install on phone and set up using https://github.com/wg-easy/wg-easy) and have the port open only to that. The VPN will do the rest in terms of NATing ports and whatnot.

DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.

The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/

Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor

This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
