My cheap alternative to Ngrok

Published on in πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Dev

Since GoBlog has an Auto-HTTPS feature that can automatically retrieve HTTPS certificates via ACME from e.g. Let’s Encrypt, I need a public IP address with which I can reach my test instance of GoBlog via port 80 and 443.

Yesterday I wrote about Tailscale. Really cool service! And I’m a little bit obsessed with it, too. Now that I have connected my devices to a network, I had the idea to make my GoBlog diary available only via Tailscale instead of a public domain.

Follow websites without RSS using the XPath RSS-Bridge

Published on in πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Dev
