Just finished the first pass at the next blog post and yeah... it's almost 3k words. I do think it's shaping up to be the best post I've ever written though so please read it haha
This next Home Cloud blog post is going to be a doozy. I'm already at almost 2k words and I'm not done. Turns out it takes a lot of words to explain how the internet works lol
I always struggle to start writing blog posts but enjoy the process of actually writing them when I get started. It's kinda odd... anyone else have the same problem?
Okay I've officially started work on the Home Cloud mobile app. This is the first time in about 8 years that I've worked on a mobile app (native, not adaptive web sites).
Honestly it's kinda funny to me how little things have changed, at least on the surface. The tools seem broadly the same, the development flow is the same. Emulators seem to be just as bad lol. I do wish I had an ARM based laptop now...
It's been a while since our last update blog post and this one includes a big milestone! We're making huge progress towards enabling remote access for Home Cloud as well as throwing in some other goodies.
I've been running Timothy Miller's cloudflare-ddns service as a k8s container for years now to keep my public IP up to date. Unfortunately it seems he's stopped maintaining the project and I've started to run into bugs.
Thankfully there's a spiritual successor that is written in Go (instead of Python so it uses less memory) and works great! Props to Quentin McGaw for building this for the community.
