    🐳 Matrix (An open network for secure, decentralized communication) server setup using Ansible and Docker

    Matrix was my first ansible setup ever. Setting up all the services is really easy, the only thing i struggled with is with forwarding the services to my external nginx server that is on a vps. (You have to do some weird stuff to get federation to work: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/docs/configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md#method-2-fronting-the-integrated-nginx-reverse-proxy-webserver-with-another-reverse-proxy

  • osync

    A robust two way (bidirectional) file sync script based on rsync with fault tolerance, POSIX ACL support, time control and near realtime sync

    I've been considering simply moving over to osync because the little shit can't even handle a few additional files without crapping out. It works fine, when it works, but I almost don't dare touch it lest it crap itself out again. Its a sync program, adding a folder of some twenty pictures should not make it decide to dig an early grave.

    You may be using Discord, but you should be using Mumble.

    https://www.bettercap.org/installation/ https://github.com/joffotron/docker-net-tools https://github.com/ellerbrock/docker-security-images Just in random order. Htop is even an option. Depends what exactly you want, any case has it's own implications.
