Hello again!
Recently had made a post where y’all helped me out as a noob setting up a server. One comment in particular gave me an idea and now I’m wondering if this would work and would it perhaps be easier to do, since I’ve had trouble figuring out how to (safely) set up the remote connection stuff.
I installed Fedora Kiinoite on the server/htpc and was learning how to use Podman since I don’t want to go through the trouble of using Os-tree.
But it just occurred to - would it work if I used Gnome Boxes to run Cosmos Cloud and run all the services I want to remotely connect to from there? Or would there be an issue since it’s a VM? Cosmos Cloud seems to make it easy to securely remotely connect, and it uses containers too.
Mostly because my files stay on my hardware, on my network. In case of internet down/broken/filtered I can still access all my data. That is one of the points of self hosting. Not the only one, granted, and maybe not even the most critical, but having the opportunity, better to host on your turf.
Go ahead the self host on a cloud somewhere, nothing bad about that! Have fun, enjoy, learn and be digitally independent is the core of self hosting.
Yeah, I get it. I’d like to try a Raspberry Pi setup sometime. Maybe some home automation stuff. But I don’t require much and don’t want a server rack. I’m a developer, not a network engineer.
