Tailscsle was never the unlock for me, but I guess I never was the typical use case here.
I have a 1U (or more), sitting in a rack in a local datacenter. I have an IP block to myself.
Those servers are now publicly exposed and only a few ports are exposed for mail, HTTP traffic and SSH (for Git).
I guess my use case also changes in that I don’t use things just for me to consume, select others can consume services I host.
My definition here of self-hosting isn’t that I and I only can access my services; that’s be me having a server at home which has some non critical things on it.
- zrail 8mo agoCurious how long you've been sitting on the IP block. I've been nosing around getting an ASN to mess around with the lower level internet bones but a /24 is just way too expensive these days. Even justifying an ASN is hard, since the minimum cost is $275/year through ARIN.
- bakies 8mo agoIs that the minimum for an ASN? /24 is a lot of public IP space! I'd expect just to get a static IP from and ISP if I were to coloc like this
- zrail 8mo agoThe minimum publicly routable IPv4 subnet is /24 and IPv6 is /48. IPv6 is effectively free, there are places that will lease a /48 for $8/year, whereas as far as I can tell it's multiple thousands of USD per year to acquire or lease a /24 of IPv4.
