    @Neiluj said in Web dev - How would you go at it today?: breaking things into "ingestible" bits / smaller actionable parts You know, I tried this exactly ... with ChatGPT! I've managed to get one app idea into a visual, working, state. I gave the command, and because I said the app has to be cross-platform, ChatGPT opted to give a bunch of code in Flutter. I then decided to install all the required software (flutter, android studio, etc.) to see if the code actually worked, and it did. From that initial command, I then iterated on it and asked, "with the code you just gave me, add this functionality" a few times and wow. I'm currently stuck on getting it to provide me with code to plug into a db backend, but it's progress.

    Sure, did you see this? https://www.ssdnodes.com/contact/ I've been working across 12 time zones, and always got help when I needed it (but like I said, it was just the Dashboard-based ticket system I used, I've never had something so screwed up I had to call someone!)

    @necrevistonnezr said in Thinking about self-hosting; why do/don't you run your own hardware?: More interesting is the router you have at home and what traffic you're able to block etc. More advanced routers allow to block traffic based on IP lists etc. I have a FRITZ!Box 7590AX

    I've only ever moved once my existing setup runs out of space or I've added more apps and need more RAM/ CPU.

    @LoudLemur said in FOSDEM 2024 - Save the date: 3 & 4 February 2024: I wonder what ticketing system they use for the event It says: "You don't need to register. Just turn up and join in!" But in the past for other big similar conferences I've seen people make use of Pretix. Although I also like this really simple Gath.io app too

    Interesting dilemma. I always have started with the fresh Ubuntu server as recommended, and I follow the usual DigitalOcean tuts ('cause I always forget) to tightening up SSH, disallowing root login, BUT I do create a second sudo user, and set up SSH to allow logins only by key, no passwords. Then, when I install Cloudron while logged in with the root user, it all goes well, root can't login, but my secondary sudo user still can. Maybe it was the name you choose? In reading your steps, I don't see that you did anything particular to the SSH service. So perhaps when Cloudron gets installed it does something which takes precedence over your non-steps, locking that user out. In my /home directory there is root, yellowtent and secondarysudouser. I suggest setting up your SSH service first, then install Cloudron.

    the reasoning for using cloudflareaccess would be to insure that my admins need approval before accessing the box. cloudron doesn't offer that level of security. also for me, i illiminate the threat of public internet access by only filtering ports to cloudflare at the firewall level. currently, there is no good way to run cloudflare argo tunnels on cloudron.

    @lukas Enpass for personal, Vaultwarden for business/shared, if that helps. On a Mac the shortcut for Enpass quick access is option-command-p, so anything is just a shortcut and search away.

    @jdaviescoates said in Easy Indie App—Run your own X in a few clicks: Yeah btw.so itself looks/ sounds like it'll be a useful app to add to the wishlist once it's ready. I just asked and they said: Yes, it will be possible to self-host btw and the code will available soon (we're pre-launch)! It is now possible to self-host so I've just added it to the wishlist here: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/73350
