Copyright and patent laws shouldn't even exist.

I don't think you even begin to understand what it's like to have billions of people on the earth.
No matter what we do, people will still slip through the cracks and this litter will get out.
It's where the useful idiots are being herded. They are using it because it's "not twitter" and other people are influencing them. They don't care about decentralization.
Sorry, it should be up again now.
I've updated the post with the instructions. I don't really plan on hosting this for a long period of time, at least not in this state.
I hope some people have gotten some use out of it.
Thank you!
Thanks. This is new to me and I'm going to be looking into it.
No problem.
For my VPN, it tells me the forwarded port in the software's GUI. I'm not sure how to find it out through the command line.
Thanks.
It's my understanding that https provides encryption for the data sent between you and the server. If you're not sending any sensitive data, then the encryption shouldn't be necessary.
Don't get me wrong, encryption is great even when it isn't necessary. For my demonstration purposes though, I chose not to include it.
I also believe it's possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that "we can't verify the authenticity of this website" warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.
It's not dumb at all! Don't be afraid to ask. I'm not an expert and still learning myself.
The VPN is running on the same machine that I am hosting the website on. There may be some configuration you can do to perhaps have the connection routed through your raspberry pi with a VPN running on it to the machine that's hosting the website, but I'm not sure how.
Otherwise, you should be able to at the very least run the entire setup on a raspberry pi.
I was able to run the server properly after building it with ./build -g. I can connect if I select the local server and therefore have localhost for ip address and ip management in the config.
If possible, I'd like to find out where I can put my VPN's internal IP address (assuming that's what I need) so I could have the server listen on that interface and let people connect to my server from the outside.
Thanks again for all your help and your contributions to this project.
How is catbox hosted?
If they're renting VPS hardware, then they're getting scammed.
They should set up self hosting with their own hardware and a VPN. It will cut down on the recurring costs significantly.
Don't pay for others' stupidity, if you can avoid it.
