My Abuelo says:
-
he will not rewire things with the router
-
he wants me to find a way to create a Lemmy instance without Ethernet, just the regular Wi Fi connection without a router or anything.
This rules out what I was going to use, Yunohost. While I have the USB, I don’t have the router (it’s full), switch, or Ethernet Cable and Abuelo doesn’t want to buy one nor does he want me to buy one.
He thinks it’d be less time consuming if I found a way to self-host without that stuff, just through Wi-Fi, and I don’t know how to program.
But how so? With what apps??
If you know nothing about servers, linux, docker, postgres, reverse proxies, networking, https, certificates etc. then you may not be able to do this without studying these topics significantly and practicing setting up more simple services (like a plain HTTPS server with Let’sEncrypt certificates.)
The same ones you’d use with a wire.
WiFi is just Wireless Fidelity… A play on HiFi. It’s just a wireless equivalent of wired ethernet. You still have an IP address, you still have a router (without a router only one device in your house could connect to the internet, typically your wireless access point is a combination router with a wireless access point in it).
