After some trial and error, I've managed to successfully deploy public instances of privacy-respecting services! (reallyaweso.me)

Hi, you guys might know me from these three posts. After reading all of the comments, I've decided to purchase a Mini PC to host public instances of privacy-respecting services.

I'm here to bring some good news: I got it working perfectly! You can visit reallyaweso.me today and get a list of services that I'm hosting!

All services are deployed via Docker and proxied through Cloudflare. You might ask: "Why Cloudflare?". It's because I can't port forward things on my home network. It really sucks that I'm depending on Cloudflare to do the port forwarding for me, but it is what it is.

If you want me to host a specific service that you want, feel free to comment on this post!

I would really appreciate it if you guys could checkout some services that I'm hosting, as I don't know if everything went smoothly or not. Thank you guys so much for helping me on this journey!!

Is it so quick because Cloudflare is acting as a CDN? I tried a SearXNG search and it was just as fast as my local browser??? What on earth is this sorcery

It might also be because some mini PCs nowadays are fast AF.

If they’ve got the orange cloud enabled, then Cloudflare will cache, minify, and distribute the static contents to servers closer to your ISP. The result would be that the initial page load appears faster. Dynamic content (such as actually performing a search) would require the server to actually perform actions, and would depend on wider range of factors.

A lot of words to say, yes, if you have static content to serve, Cloudflare is one of the cheapest way to make them go vroom vroom.

Well yes, but try out for yourself: the chap's SearXNG instance is blazing fast. This is obviously dynamic content
