Now that's not something I'd have expected. I've never encountered anything like that in the nearly 15-20 years I've been using TL.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a tweak and a bash as I don't use traefik, but that's a great starting point that gets me a chunk of the way there

No worries on that front, VPN is already set up and was established several years ago to do this and these days none of this infrastructure runs on a pi. But yes, that would be needed had I not already done so.

Magic, thanks for that I'll give it a look.

Bookmarked for investigation when I finish my current batch of tasks (and 3 reminders set so when I forget I'm reminded)

I think I tried thisin my earliest Cura days and it didn't work but I'll give it another go and see how I go as that'll at least get me round most of the problem and I've got backup plans for I'd I can't get a self hosted web app going. (VM with rdp so I can still run Cura on it)

Very fair question and I'll admit that a part of it genuinely is "because I can!" But that's not all of the reason. I work across several machines and soon due to reasons that at the same time both make sense and are somewhat frustrating some of the machines I use most frequently are about to be locked down and my ability to instal software removed, so that is part of it. Web apps allow me to sidestep this issue. I'm a bit of a forgetful person that has to act when inspiration hits me or I forget to deal with it. Sometimes that's probably for the best but other times a moment of inspiration has turned into something wonderful (both in the 3D printing scenario and wider life) Most of my homelab setup is web-based already and I have most of my files synchronised around to allow me easy access no matter where I am or what device I'm on, I also work long days away from home now and then and like the idea of having an idea, processing the stl file and then kicking off a print job so it's complete by the time I get back home. In the end I guess my big motivator here is due to my own personal failings, I'm an impatient and forgetful person that would rather just get stuff done than improve my memory and patience ;)

Testing with a comment

I've been quite happy with my Tradfri Ikea bulks. Got some spread throughout the house. I did have one RGB bulk I got from AliExpress, but although it could do a whole range of colours it just didn't have the brightness I was looking for. I haven't tried the Phillips Hue ones though, so they might be better. I just happened to be in Ikea and spotted them, so went for it purely because of the fact I was needing some and walked past them. Had I walked past some Hue ones instead I'd probably have considered going for them instead.

One method that many people use to hide their IP address of their host is to use Cloudflare for DNS, that way you don't directly expose your IP address to the wider internet. A nice bonus to Clouldflare is that it's free too! Just get yourself a domain, get Cloudflare set up to provide DNS for it and you're golden.

Thanks for confirming before I could bruise back to Lemmy world, find this post and confirm for myself.

I've just gotten my own instance of Lemmy running here and think I'm getting the hang of how to subscribe and link up to other instances. This is also a teaser to see if my first comment actually works!
