[977.36 --> 980.34] ViOS, I've heard the Discord talking about that recently.
[980.46 --> 981.42] Is that a firewall platform?
[981.84 --> 982.28] It is, yeah.
[982.30 --> 983.90] It's Linux-based, so not BSD.
[984.60 --> 987.46] There's no web UI whatsoever, so far as I'm aware.
[987.46 --> 995.60] I did try it once about a year ago for a few hours and the learning curve is real, so I gave up.
[997.02 --> 1002.46] The trouble is with learning a firewall is you go on the internet to Google stuff, don't you?
[1003.06 --> 1006.76] But if your firewall's down, you have a hard time doing that.
[1006.88 --> 1012.36] So there are some things that are so mission critical that I just almost can't be bothered to change them
[1012.36 --> 1016.72] because I know how much work it's going to be to learn a new thing and OpenSense is good enough.
[1017.46 --> 1018.62] I do love the project.
[1018.76 --> 1020.84] I mean, I think it's very stable.
[1021.02 --> 1022.40] I never have to reboot the box.
[1022.50 --> 1025.56] I never have to worry about updates or anything like that.
[1026.08 --> 1028.56] But this WireGuard issue is kicking my ass, to be honest with you.
[1028.96 --> 1029.30] I agree.
[1029.38 --> 1030.24] It is a great product.
[1030.72 --> 1036.44] It is a solid project that, and PFSense before it, too, just I also really like it.
[1037.00 --> 1037.58] But I get you.
[1037.70 --> 1038.36] I know what you mean.
[1038.54 --> 1041.54] And sometimes it's really easy with WireGuard because something has it built in,
[1041.62 --> 1044.82] like some of the GI routers that we've talked about before.
[1045.46 --> 1047.24] And sometimes it's something you've got to build up.
[1047.46 --> 1053.58] I'm the guy that was trying to do WireGuard from behind a double carrier grade NAT to a Linode,
[1053.74 --> 1054.86] then down to the studio.
[1055.24 --> 1057.26] And I wanted to get to everything by its name.
[1057.46 --> 1058.96] And I mean, that's quite the setup.
[1059.22 --> 1060.70] Maybe we'll chat more about it sometime.
[1060.70 --> 1066.06] What I did end up doing was I ended up looking at the Linux server WireGuard Docker image.
[1066.66 --> 1068.78] Now, this thing is slick AF.
[1069.70 --> 1071.56] So you spin up the container.
[1071.80 --> 1072.90] You do it in Docker Compose.
[1072.98 --> 1075.60] You name your peers just as an environment variable.
[1075.60 --> 1078.26] So you can either say, I want peers four.
[1078.66 --> 1081.76] You know, so I want four peers and just deal with peers via a number.
[1081.76 --> 1087.60] Or you can say peers and then just put a space limited list.
[1088.10 --> 1094.06] So, you know, you put phone space, desktop space, server, whatever, as the environment variable.
[1094.06 --> 1096.84] And it will go and generate all the config files for you.
[1096.94 --> 1098.56] But here's the really cool bit.
[1098.56 --> 1107.04] They've built in an alias into the container that will print out a QR code for each of those setups from a single line command.
[1107.68 --> 1108.92] It's just slick.
[1109.16 --> 1117.44] You know, after messing about with OpenSense for so long and it's kind of older, less mature, I would say, implementation,
[1117.74 --> 1120.72] to come across the Linux server container was just a breath of fresh air.
[1121.42 --> 1123.38] And so I ended up using our sponsor, Linode.
[1123.58 --> 1126.74] So you can use the coupon code linode.com slash SSH.
[1126.74 --> 1133.54] I ended up using our sponsor, Linode, to spin up a host dedicated to running this Linux server WireGuard container.
[1133.82 --> 1135.28] And it just works really well.
[1135.34 --> 1136.32] The performance is great.
[1136.74 --> 1138.94] And I'm able to back this thing up.
[1139.00 --> 1141.72] So I know that if anything happens, I've got the Linode backups.
[1142.22 --> 1143.52] It just works really, really well.
[1144.28 --> 1151.56] And whilst I was fiddling about with this container, I ran across a blog post from John Muchovesch.
[1152.24 --> 1153.96] I'm sorry, I probably butchered that name.
[1153.96 --> 1157.20] The website link will be in the show notes, of course.
[1157.46 --> 1159.40] And this is super cool.
[1159.70 --> 1165.48] It lets you route specific containers through the WireGuard container as well.
[1165.56 --> 1172.50] So you're able to use the Docker networking to potentially have multiple instances of WireGuard going to different places for different services,
[1172.50 --> 1174.00] all on the same box.
[1174.76 --> 1187.56] And it uses a parameter that is released as part of Docker Compose 3.8 schema of network mode service colon WireGuard to route the traffic through that container.
[1187.74 --> 1195.26] So you could, for example, basically bind NextCloud or any other service to listen only on that WireGuard server,
[1195.62 --> 1198.24] just using one line of config in your Compose file.
[1198.50 --> 1199.28] Super cool.
[1199.28 --> 1201.06] And I love this kind of stuff.
[1201.06 --> 1204.80] linode.com slash SSH.
[1204.88 --> 1209.66] Go there to get a $100 60-day credit towards a new account and go there to support the show.
[1209.74 --> 1211.80] This is a great way to see what Linode can do.
[1212.26 --> 1213.86] They're our cloud hosting provider.
[1214.04 --> 1218.40] If it's backend infrastructure for the network, if it's a game server for my kids,
[1218.52 --> 1222.88] or if it's a project we're working on for self-hosted, we run it all on Linode.
[1223.14 --> 1224.90] You have $100 here to work with.
[1225.24 --> 1226.22] I mean, I want to be frank with you.
[1226.22 --> 1229.04] You can do so much at Linode with that much credit.
[1229.60 --> 1231.90] Check out some of their GPU systems.
[1232.02 --> 1232.94] These are crazy.
[1233.06 --> 1239.38] And in fact, Cloud Spectator Benchmarking, it's a group that goes around and tries the performance aspects of different cloud providers.
[1239.38 --> 1248.80] They recently said that Linode has the fastest GPUs in the industry, outperforming AWS, Azure, Google.
[1249.10 --> 1254.98] I mean, if you have any kind of image manipulation workload that you need to do and you just want to crank it out super fast,
[1255.32 --> 1261.14] go to linode.com slash SSH and get our $100 credit and use some of it for that.
[1261.60 --> 1267.76] Image stuff is so cool right now because there's so many fun open source projects that you can play with and easily deploy on Linode.
[1267.76 --> 1275.78] The entire stack, regardless of what kind of system you get, they all have super fast native SSDs, 40 gigabit connections into the hypervisors,
[1275.92 --> 1278.30] and they have 11 data centers around the world.
[1278.38 --> 1282.60] So there's probably something that's going to work for you, a client, a customer, et cetera.
[1283.08 --> 1289.94] And additionally, they have all of this while being 30 to 50% less than AWS or Google, right?
[1289.98 --> 1290.96] I mean, that's what's amazing.
[1291.12 --> 1293.74] Fastest GPUs, crazy fast network connections.
[1294.10 --> 1296.40] The reason why is they've been around since 2003.
[1296.40 --> 1299.30] So they had a lot of time to figure out how to do this right.
[1299.62 --> 1303.44] They have had a lot of time to get great deals, great network providers and connections.
[1303.94 --> 1308.38] I mean, this is the benefit of being an independent cloud provider for as long as they have.
[1308.44 --> 1310.58] They got a jumpstart on everybody else.
[1310.78 --> 1316.00] And you can benefit now by going to linode.com slash SSH and you can support this here show.
[1316.96 --> 1320.82] Linode is really dedicating to offering the best Linux experience in the cloud.
[1320.82 --> 1325.80] If it runs on Linux, you'll be able to run it on Linode and be able to manage it easily with their cloud manager.
[1326.28 --> 1327.90] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1328.06 --> 1330.32] Thanks to Linode for sponsoring the self-hosted program.
[1330.84 --> 1335.72] And thanks to everybody who supports our show by visiting linode.com slash SSH.
[1335.72 --> 1338.28] What show is that?
[1338.28 --> 1343.80] I mean, we had accusations this week of being the Raspberry Pi and RV Home Assistant podcast.
[1344.24 --> 1348.62] Well, it kind of goes that way sometimes, but I think it's a reflection of the trends of the time, man.
[1349.44 --> 1352.36] Pi's come to a really good price point and performance.
