Many home users like to run services off of their residential ISP but are limited by a single IP address. Using an nginx reverse proxy we can run multiple services, running on the same port, point to the same address and have them function properly. For those who are interested in HTTPS support we suggest you look at certbot.
General chit chat with the group members about their current projects and problems. We talked about future goals and what we’ve got coming up. It was great to see the usual crowd as well as a couple new faces. If you have any specific interests in upcoming meeting topics please reach out to contact@elug.ca.
Rick ran through a Pi-hole demo for the group, showing us to implement a simple network level block for advertisements and trackers. Now you can explore the internet without the nuisance and distractions. If you’d like to follow along you can run through the notes that Rick provided as well some videos that he thinks you should check out!

I use Gparted and ; Delete all partitions # There can be some weird stuff hanging around.

Are you confused about nftables and iptables? So am i! Manuel walked us through some of the differences between the two toolsets and lead us through examples of how you could implement firewall rules using both of them. Included in the presentation are some code examples as well as additional sources for a nice long read in front of the fire this winter. Afterwords you can read up on UFW and explain to the group how it fits in.
