IT'S ALIVE!!! The Cabin Brain is alive!!! (Well, at least for a prolonged test session.)

I have posted some initial frustrations while trying to host some services on a at home: https://blog.nigini.me/o/47024bc5f5a3422290dc4fd6e9762a05

Then, I discovered that my internet provider would not relay any external connections and that I could create a tunnel using (which I already pay for).

Today, as you can see on the attached screenshot, I got to SEE it really happening! I "only" needed to:

  • Setup a Wireguard VPN connection

  • Forwarding a port of the VPN server to my local HTTP server

  • And dynamically update my NO-IP DNS

    NOW, I need to work on doing all that automatically at computer start, and keep it all up-to-date while it runs. Today I cheated and did things manually, but I am very close now! ;)
