[274.58 --> 275.54] And that's how they do it. |
[275.54 --> 282.12] Then you have others like T-Mobile who will actually re-encode your video traffic while it's in transit. |
[283.10 --> 284.28] Yeah, there's different approaches. |
[284.62 --> 285.04] That's nuts. |
[285.16 --> 289.54] That sounds, I mean, that's going to cost them a lot in CPU, surely, if nothing else. |
[289.86 --> 291.36] That may not be how they do it anymore either. |
[291.44 --> 292.36] They change as well. |
[292.48 --> 297.08] So that's why I say today in early 2021 may not be how they do it at the end of 2021. |
[297.08 --> 303.58] But I have found, so what I do is I have a kind of a special sauce VPN. |
[303.84 --> 308.54] It's a bit of a proprietary solution from a vendor, but it bridges AT&T and Verizon. |
[308.84 --> 311.16] And the endpoint is a couple of Linode servers. |
[311.90 --> 315.52] And the carriers just have no idea what I'm doing when I do that. |
[315.56 --> 319.82] And that allows you to get around this, but it doesn't allow you to get around bandwidth limitations. |
[319.82 --> 325.26] So if you still have, you know, X amount, you know, 18 gigs a month and you can't go over that, it doesn't solve that problem. |
[325.44 --> 326.40] Are you on an unlimited plan? |
[326.92 --> 327.44] I am, yes. |
[327.66 --> 332.70] My employer pays for it, so I don't really have to look at the bill, which is quite a nice position to be in. |
[332.80 --> 334.54] Oh, that is sweet. |
[334.76 --> 341.68] You mean, really, as a consumer, as an average consumer, it's pretty tricky to even get unlimited data to begin with, let alone get it for free. |
[342.04 --> 346.60] Well, I'm sure it's, you know, it's Verizon Unlimited, so it's probably got all sorts of T's and C's. |
[346.60 --> 353.98] I think I get 30 gig of hotspot data and then the rest is throttled down to like 600 kilobits or something like that. |
[354.70 --> 363.06] What this TTL parameter does is it basically gives you all of your data allowance that the T's and C's permit at full speed. |
[363.60 --> 365.34] That's effectively what this does. |
[365.82 --> 366.44] That is great. |
[366.52 --> 368.26] We will put a link to that in the show notes. |
[368.52 --> 371.92] It's going to be different per carrier, but that seems to work on Verizon. |
[371.92 --> 372.74] Mm-hmm. |
[373.46 --> 377.76] Now, have you been looking for a self-hosted file sync and sharing, like, web UI? |
[378.38 --> 381.84] This just came up, actually, within 24 hours. |
[382.08 --> 384.98] And I don't really know what's good anymore, so I'm hoping you have a solution for me. |
[385.18 --> 394.68] Well, I was spinning up some stuff on Proxmox the other day, and I had a VM, and I didn't have Samba installed on my server because I'd literally just built it. |
[394.72 --> 397.20] I hadn't run the Ansible, and I just needed one file. |
[397.20 --> 401.22] So I thought, why don't I find a web UI to browse my files? |
[401.64 --> 402.62] And I thought, well, I've got Nextcloud. |
[402.72 --> 404.34] I could just upload the zip file to Nextcloud. |
[404.50 --> 407.24] Oh, wait, I haven't deployed Docker yet. |
[407.28 --> 408.32] I haven't done all this stuff yet. |
[408.44 --> 419.88] So what I did was I ended up spending two hours to solve a five-minute problem by spinning up FileRun, which is a self-hosted file sync and sharing solution. |
[419.88 --> 430.44] It purports to install on any private Linux, Mac, or Windows server, but it will also support, you know, cPanel-style, PHP-based type stuff as well. |
[430.76 --> 433.62] I've got it running out of a container, well, four, actually. |
[433.76 --> 438.16] So it uses the FileRun container itself. |
[438.26 --> 447.50] It uses Elasticsearch and something called Apache Ticker to do file indexing as well as MariaDB or MySQL for a backend database. |
[447.50 --> 454.52] So it's not a super lightweight thing, but it is very pretty, it's very performant, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. |
[454.86 --> 458.08] I don't really need the search, so I don't need all that overhead. |
[458.22 --> 466.50] What I really wanted was just browse my files, but this does have something I hadn't considered, but now looking at the feature list would be extremely useful. |
[467.28 --> 470.20] And that is it lets you send file requests to somebody. |
[470.20 --> 475.96] So I could send you a request, say, hey, Alex, send me that, you know, send me that batch of pictures or whatever. |
[476.62 --> 478.18] And then it would give you a way to send those to me. |
[478.62 --> 481.80] It's not like you send and receive files around the internet for your day job or anything, is it? |
[482.06 --> 482.64] Yeah, right? |
[482.92 --> 489.88] And so to actually be able to request something from someone, it just seems like it's a, it's a sort of an extra level of care for guests on the network. |
[489.88 --> 493.94] And then it also supports guest users too, which I also would need. |
[493.94 --> 501.18] And so help me understand this, is it creating its own document space and what you upload and put into it is what you see through the web UI? |
[501.34 --> 505.50] Or does it let you browse existing folders and files on your server? |
[506.08 --> 508.90] So you're trying to compare it to a Nextcloud with that comment, I suppose. |
[509.42 --> 513.96] With Nextcloud, you end up sort of creating your own space within your file system. |
[513.96 --> 522.02] But this guy, FileRun, you just point it at a file share or an existing directory or a volume bind mount, in my case, with a container. |
[522.78 --> 524.14] And everything just showed up. |
[524.18 --> 525.32] I didn't have to change permissions. |
[525.52 --> 526.98] I didn't have to mess about with anything else. |
[527.34 --> 534.16] I've actually got it set to read only just because, well, I mean, the DNS that I have is exposed through traffic. |
[534.36 --> 537.34] So, I mean, it's not going outside my LAN anyway. |
[537.82 --> 541.72] But, you know, I feel like a web UI, it's a bit too easy to get a bit trigger happy sometimes. |
[542.10 --> 543.62] So it's read only for me. |
[543.62 --> 545.90] I just want to use it to download the odd file here and there. |
[545.98 --> 549.20] But it's very useful and no import is required. |
[549.54 --> 551.84] So, yeah, very easy to get started. |
[552.36 --> 553.86] That is exactly what I was hoping for. |
[553.94 --> 558.98] It seems it also even has file versioning, if that's something that matters to you, and has a trash. |
[559.10 --> 562.28] So if you delete something, it'll first store them in there before it gets permanently erased. |
[562.34 --> 564.90] So you kind of have an escape hatch if you need it. |
[565.54 --> 565.88] All right. |
[566.48 --> 566.72] Yep. |
[567.10 --> 570.10] I'm going to deploy this, especially since it seems like... |
[570.10 --> 571.06] You know what you need to do, Alex? |
[571.06 --> 572.52] You've got to send me your Docker Compose for me. |
[572.52 --> 573.48] Make it real easy for me. |
[574.38 --> 574.80] All right. |
[575.52 --> 575.84] Yeah. |
[575.90 --> 576.76] But no, I'm going to give it a try. |
[576.90 --> 577.62] That's a great find. |
[577.70 --> 579.04] It's called, again, File Run. |
[579.42 --> 583.54] So they do offer an enterprise version in case you see any prices or anything like that. |
[583.60 --> 586.20] It's free for up to 10 users for personal and family use. |
[586.28 --> 591.10] But they have paid versions for, you know, small businesses and enterprise as well. |
[591.34 --> 592.60] So they have a means to make money. |
[592.66 --> 593.58] They have a business side. |
[593.58 --> 596.46] And that means it's probably going to stick around. |
[596.72 --> 597.76] Does use web dev, though. |
[598.00 --> 599.38] I'm never mad keen on web dev. |
[599.60 --> 603.34] But that does mean you can do file syncing using, I think, the next cloud client. |
[603.76 --> 604.68] We'll talk to this. |
[605.18 --> 609.64] And if you're behind a corporate firewall, too, it's just kind of nice to do everything over the web ports. |
[610.06 --> 612.74] I'll put a link to my Compose snippet in the show notes. |
[613.22 --> 615.78] I did come across a new project called TermPad. |
[616.02 --> 617.86] I think it's termpad.io this week. |
[617.98 --> 618.30] All right. |
[618.32 --> 619.02] Let's take a look at this. |
[619.20 --> 619.82] TermPad, huh? |
[620.10 --> 620.90] TermPad.com. |
