How do transaction fees work? (self.monero)
 

Hi, new Monero user here. I've recently started to mine some Monero and was wondering where I can spend it in the future. During my research, I've seen some sites saying "Please send enough Monero to cover the transaction fees". What does that mean?

I'll give an example to make my question a bit more clear:

I want to send 1 XMR to a seller. Let's say that the transaction fees are 0.1 XMR as an example. After sending my Monero, does the seller receive 0.9 XMR or are the transaction fees automatically paid with my wallet?

Thanks in advance!

How can I bypass CGNAT by using a VPS with a public IPv4 address? in c/[email protected]

Hi, whenever I try to enter the ports 80 and 443 at the beginning of the -R parameter, I get this error: Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 80. How do I fix this?

How do I make the SSH tunnel forward traffic? It can't be as easy as just running ssh user@SERVER_IP in the terminal.

(I only need variant 1 btw)

I've added the firewall rule and it still says no port[s] to connect to whenever I run echo "Testing" | nc -u SERVER_IP -p 51820. I feel like you're trying to stay on a sinking ship, so I would suggest to try another method to see if we even can get the whole "bypass CGNAT with a VPS" thing to work at all.

Update: I've tried setting up SSH tunneling instead and it STILL doesn't work. I contacted Hetzner support about this issue and I'm hoping that they can resolve the firewall issues that I'm having.

I've added some different ports for the future, but this is my ufw status:

Alright, I switched to ufw and... it's still not working. sigh

Should we just try something completely different? WireGuard doesn't seem to be working on my VPS. Someone in the comments mentioned tunneling via SSH, sounds interesting.

What do you mean with "clear out iptables completely"? Should I remove the iptables package with sudo apt remove iptables?

Alright, sounds good. What firewall are you recommending me to use? I would like to use a firewall that's easy to manage.

Edit: I went with ufw.

I tried to open the port 22 on UDP (yeah, I am getting pretty desperate over here...) and still get the message no port[s] to connect to... Someone else on this post commented that I should stop using iptables for opening ports and start using something else as a firewall. Should I try this approach?

Does iptables count as a firewall? You said that I should "forget" iptables. Is it that bad? It came preinstalled on the VPS. Should I switch? And if so, how?

Very interesting... How do I get started?

The command you provided for the VPS returns UDP listen needs -p arg, so I just added -p right before the port number and then it worked. Running the homelab command returns no port[s] to connect to... Not good.

How can I bypass CGNAT by using a VPS with a public IPv4 address? (self.selfhosted)
 

I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow this guide. Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn't work. I'm trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue?

VPS Info:

OS: Debian 12

Architecture: ARM64 / aarch64

RAM: 4 GB

Traffic: 20 TB

After some trial and error, I've managed to successfully deploy public instances of privacy-respecting services! (reallyaweso.me)
 

Hi, you guys might know me from these three posts. After reading all of the comments, I've decided to purchase a Mini PC to host public instances of privacy-respecting services.

I'm here to bring some good news: I got it working perfectly! You can visit reallyaweso.me today and get a list of services that I'm hosting!

All services are deployed via Docker and proxied through Cloudflare. You might ask: "Why Cloudflare?". It's because I can't port forward things on my home network. It really sucks that I'm depending on Cloudflare to do the port forwarding for me, but it is what it is.

If you want me to host a specific service that you want, feel free to comment on this post!

I would really appreciate it if you guys could checkout some services that I'm hosting, as I don't know if everything went smoothly or not. Thank you guys so much for helping me on this journey!!

Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs? (self.selfhosted)

I recently bought a domain from Porkbun (thanks to all of the comments on this post!) and I want to self-host some services myself. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and I'm not quite sure if it can handle these things:

  • A matrix homeserver
  • A lemmy instance
  • A website with static HTML pages
  • Privacy-respecting frontends (Piped, Redlib etc.)

I am thinking about getting a maxed-out Raspberry Pi 5 with a whole 8 Gigabytes of RAM. Is it worth it? I need a machine that is quiet, doesn't draw that much power and is overall pretty good for the money.

Edit: I bought this Mini PC instead of the Raspberry Pi 5. Thanks to all the comments!!

Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why? (self.selfhosted)

I'm currently on the lookout for privacy-respecting domain registrars. What are you guys using and why?

Edit: I've registered my domain with Porkbun. I got a really cool one, it's called reallyaweso.me!

What is the /opt directory? (self.linux)
 

I've seen a lot of self-hosted software wanting to store their data in /opt, is there any reason why?

What's the deal with Docker? (self.selfhosted)
 

I never understood how to use Docker, what makes it so special? I would really like to use it on my Rapsberry Pi 3 Model B+ to ease the setup process of selfhosting different things.

I'm currently running these things without Docker:

  • Mumble server with a Discord bridge and a music bot
  • Maubot, a plugin-based Matrix bot
  • FTP server
  • Two Discord Music bots

All of these things are running as systemd services in the background. Should I change this? A lot of the things I'm hosting offer Docker images.

It would also be great if someone could give me a quick-start guide for Docker. Thanks in advance!
