Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Apart from the world of trouble you might get yourself into when doing such things on secured systems, why are you going at it in such a complicated way?
Why not simply use a self hosted file/document storage and sharing solution like Nextcloud or Pydio Cells or something like that? Reachable through standard HTTP(S), which is a lot easier to reach than most other protocols.
let’s just assume thatI know what security risks are.
now let’s follow you idea- so what would be first step? I need to keep running whole instance of nextcloud for a few minutes where I transfer data. what would be the URL I need to access on remote machine? If it some domain with additional parameters in it - I’m trying it, and even if I do.., do I need to TYPE my username and password then? I don’t remember when I lost time type my password somewhere… not to mention that usually systems have some weird keyboard layout and I’m spending hours finding & sign on it :/ not ideal at all
