Had a thought, but some quick searching didn't really give me much.

Is there such a thing as a browser that respects privacy, and can be synched through self hosted means?

I'd be looking for tab sync, bookmark, history, etc.

100% of people who experience it, die.

So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

Thanks

I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

What bootcamps would you suggest?
