Yeah, the reverse proxy thing is kind of annoying. It seems for the most part, you'd just need to access them through
http://IP:PORTwhich I understand you'd probably not want to do. Haven't really found a way around that but Ultra.cc supports Overseerr nativelyHostingBy seems to have really good price, but I have heard that their support is lacking and if you want answers you're better off asking in the discord for someone else to help you out.
Ultra recently introduced a Singapore option for some of their plans which I would definitely recommend if you're located in Asia and you're getting it as a media server. They also let you install pyenv (for Python versions), nodejs and golang so it's easier for you to install your own apps. There are a lot of ways to compile your own apps, it just takes a bit of learning and time
Apparently it looks like, atleast on Ultra.cc, you can add your own reverse proxy configs to .apps/nginx/proxy.d and once you restart the nginx service if will proxy your requests. It's just up to you to configure it properly although Support won't help you with that. I imagine the other providers also have something similar although it may not be as straightforward
Hey, you've been really helpful, so thank you :) The reason I didn't go with Singapore is because my partner currently lives in the US and this is mostly for her, I have my own homelab setup that I haven't exposed to the internet.
I'll checkout if I can write my own nginx files on hostinby as well based on what you said :D
Ultra looks to have the most apps supported out of the box, so I might switch to them if I can't iron out stuff on hbd. I saw that hbd has a script for homebrew of all things. Are you familiar with using brew to install stuff on Linux?
I've never used homebrew so I'm not sure. Looking at their discord, it's also not supported by them so I don't even know how you'd go about it tbh. Try it out and see if you can figure it out, maybe it's just a simple path issue
Yeah. I got pipx and npx working so, simple things should be fine. I really wish distrobox would work but it hasn't so far.
This is the first I'm hearing of distrobox. Guessing you need root priveleges for that?
Not really, you can use rootless docker or podman but the seedbox owners need to add you to the correct groups and they're not willing to do that.
