Thanks for the guide. How did you get the VPN forwarded port? I believe this depends on the VPN provider’s software?

Let’s Encrypt are rolling out IP-based certs, you may wanna follow its development. I’m not sure if it could be used for your forwarded VPN port, but it’d be nice anyhow

Edit: I believe encryption helps prevent tampering the data between the server and user too. It should prevent for example, someone MITM the connection and injecting malicious content that tells the user to download malware

I’ve poked around Homarr’s setup a bit, and it seems like it can run rootless after a few tweaks!

For anyone interested, I’ve written a POC and feature request here - https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/issues/3913

Hope it can be officially supported

Thanks for the advice. I’m already using podman rootless with custom subuid/subgid, which should achieve the same thing

I agree that the file sync is good. They (and owncloud afaik) are the only ones supporting virtual files on windows where you only download files when needed, saving storage space.

I suppose these fancy file features (bidirectional syncing, advanced conflict resolution etc) are targeted to the enterprise, not home users. So it’s natural they’d include it with a bunch of bells and whistles that are half as good

Owncloud had a rewrite called oCIS (Owncloud Infinite Scale). Then it was bought by Kiteworks. Then many of the core devs switched to a new product/company called Opencloud. There’s been quite some history over the past few years

Hey, glad you got it working. I’m late to the party, but I got a similar solution here: https://github.com/stratself/tswg. Basically just mounts your own wg.conf to the container and get Tailscale connected over it

Since Wireguard is peer-to-peer, I suppose the “intended” way is to install Tailscale on every client. But it is possible to use the router as a VPN gateway as per this [OpenWRT guide])https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start#force_lan_traffic_to_route_through_exit_node). Hope you get it working anyhow
