  • I recommend adding hostname: app-name lines for each container then you can just use the hostname and the native port (even if you don’t pass it through with a port: line).

    It’s super useful if you want to expose any apps with a reverse proxy like Caddy. That way the ONLY way to access an apps web interface is via the reverse proxy. Then look at filter rules to deny access unless the client has a LAN IP.

    Poof, you’ve got SSL and custom subdomains for all your apps, but still only on your LAN or personal VPN (like Wireguard or Tailscale).



  • I have an off-grid Linux box that hosts a local Wi-Fi network and some communication and entertainment apps. I want to host a chat service for asynchronous off-grid comms. Briar looked like the perfect option if I could just add the mail-box to my Linux box.

    Simplex looks like it might do something similar, but it doesn’t look like it does comms over direct Bluetooth.

    Signal is great, but it was unclear if I would be able to self-host my own Signal server if I wanted to support the public network and provide redundancy to my local LAN and connected networks.

    Every time I look at Matrix it looks really cool and sounds great. But each time I try to setup a client or actually use it, nothing works, apps crash, and I can’t actually use the dang thing. I tried setting up my own server, even tried using a public server with the Element web-app and still nothing worked, couldn’t join rooms, etc.

    Love the idea, haven’t seen a decent implementation yet. Honestly kinda wish there was PGP for sms or something like that. I couldn’t care less if the transport is insecure, as long as I can trust that only the intended recipient and myself can read/modify my messages.





  • Is there any reason these browsers would be more functional than regular Firefox with Sideberry or the Tree Style Tabs extensions?

    I use Sideberry at work and at home. Between the containers, folder sorting, tab sleeping, and snapshots, I haven’t found another browser configuration that’s as flexible and functional.

    Not to mention it works with any release or flavor of Firefox. So I don’t have to worry about weird issues with non-standard browsers.

    *Bonus points if you take the 10 minutes to setup a stylesheet to hide the default horizontal tabs.
