I tried to use Archinstall but I was installing on a partition on a secondary drive and I couldn’t get it to go in the right place so I just did it the long way. It’s really not that hard but I can see how it’s a bit daunting if you’ve never done it before. Archinstall seems like it would be good if you where installing it as the main os.

Fair question. It’s definitely within my ability to “just” swap to something else, I’d prefer something self hosted that’s foss. I will do it at some point, cf was a bit of a stop gap for me.

CF tunnels are similar to reverse proxies I believe. I started using their quick tunnels to expose things to the web and I found it very easy. A few things I wanted to host needed domains so I bought a domain from cf and get access to the permanent tunnels. Their tools are good and I know them from being the company that you call when you get ddos’d. I figured it would keep me safer while I was still figuring things out.

I feel like in my case I used them because of my ignorance. I know of openvpn i’ll look into it.

Self hosting is why I use CF I like the tunnels for exposing myself to the internet.

Have you seen Wellington Paranormal? That’s a fun one. Hunt for the wilder people is a good movie too.

I got it working on vscodium, i’ll try using that. thanks!

I tried open vss I think it’s called on arch and I have trouble using it to remotely access configs on my home server via the SSH extension. I got fed up with it and installed the MS version from yay. I resent it but it works.
