This is a proof of concept utility which allows you to expose local services to the internet at large: https://github.com/skx/tunneller In short it is a simple ngrok alternative, which you can self-host. Because it is a proof of concept it hasn't been tested extensively, but it seems like it will solve my immediate-needs. Of course it needs test, and structure added. But feedback can't hurt :)

Excited to announce StaticHost.eu - a privacy-first static site hosting service! No logging whatsoever apart from usage metrics, and hosted on Hetzner who own and operate their own data centers. Based on the git workflow where updates trigger a clone-build-deploy-publish. Other notable characteristics: - Clones from any git repository, even a folder on an SSH box - Can use any Docker image to perform the site generation (i.e. build) The classic story of something I built for myself that eventually became a something more. Still not ready, but when is such a thing ever ready... Feedback and…

I spent the last 1.5 years working out how to scale a decentralized network safely and efficiently to millions of users. URnetwork is a market for network capacity, where each connection races to find the best provider on the network. This means users have many IP addresses that continually cycle, and users can directly connect to each other, which is great for privacy when some minimum conditions are met. Because the world already has a bunch of hardware and network capacity that can be used, the challenges were to design a protocol to make it safe to use and participate, fast and reliable,…

Hey HN, I built Wiredoor, an open-source platform to securely expose private HTTP and TCP services to the internet, without opening firewall ports or dealing with complex VPN setups. Wiredoor uses WireGuard to establish encrypted tunnels and NGINX to proxy traffic to internal services, making it much easier and safer to publish apps from your private network or homelab. Docs: https://www.wiredoor.net/docs GitHub: https://github.com/wiredoor/wiredoor Would love any feedback, questions, or suggestions!

Hi HN, Alexey from Chainstack here. We built Chainstack Self-Hosted to package everything we’ve learned from 8+ years of running blockchain nodes into a single control panel. The goal we’re building this product around is to make blockchain infrastructure boring to operate. The software is free to install. You only pay for the infrastructure you run it on. The quickest way to get hands-on with it is through the Vultr Marketplace or one of the other providers listed in the docs. The current release supports Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi with Reth + Prysm full nodes. We’ll be adding…

Hi! I am sharing this because it may be useful to others. I created a simple Docker image that lets you easily expose a web app running locally on your dev machine to the Internet, via a proxy server. It is a self hosted alternative to something like Ngrok, which is a paid service if you use custom domains. A small server is cheaper than Ngrok (I use Hetzner Cloud and the cheapest server costs me 3€ per month). I use this method in particular to test HTTP verification with Let's Encrypt for a SaaS app running on my Mac. Hope this is useful :) Code:…

Hello, for some time I've been developing this project now that I am happy that it finally can see the light. I love Tor, but I believe the biggest thing with Tor is that the nodes are strangers which in itself requires some sort of level in just that, complete strangers. For this reason, I decided to build this private network inspired by the Onion router. Unlike other public networks, GiralNet is not for anonymous connections to strangers. It is built for small teams or groups who want privacy but also need a level of trust. It assumes that the people running the nodes in the network are…
