I'm here for awhile

  • Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server!

  • Yes it can. I've been doing it for the past few months. You can also host onion services really easily with no root needed.

    Here is a clone of Instagram I made for termux. It's all inclusive and will turn your phone into a social media web server.

    I've been testing this with 6 family members over the past 3 weeks it works really well for what it is. We have over 100 private posts. Just follow the usage instructions and you can turn your phone into a little private social media safe haven.

    Here is the termux side server manager.

  • This is only possible because of the sandbox of the termux app. Unfortunately iOS has no comparable alternative to termux so it will likely never happen.

    In fact, it would even be pretty difficult to develop this into a standalone app on either platform with the way application review is. There is alot of unneeded fluff that would need to be added to be compliant with policies. A self hosted service like this goes against app store policies and google play policies in a few ways.

    So while IOS users can easily access the application on a onion browser, they won't be able to host their own instance.

  • As far as literacy, all the client needs is a Tor browser and a invite link generated by the server operator.

    For Android just use the official Tor browser

    For Iphone, TOR recommends this app. https://onionbrowser.com/.

    I would love to see how far I can push a single instance with hundreds of users but realistically I think this is probably best suited for a circle of close friends and family.

  • The server backbone gunicorn is set with 2 workers and 8 threads ( this can be modified to more or less )

    But it should handle around 15 - 20 simultaneous connections smoothly. Now, if everyone is uploading all at once would definitely make it sweat.

    Once the server recieves the photo is compresses is down to 100-200kb so all retrievals are pretty light weight.

    Pagination really lightens the load as well. By limiting it to 10 photos per page, the server only needs to send about 1.5 mb - 2.0mb to load in a whole page of photos.

  • It probably can run on a standalone machine but this was made and tested specifically to run off Android to be more accessible. I may not always have a computer with me but I probably am carrying my phone.

    So far in testing I am getting stable results even hosting on a cellular connection.

  • It's just as reviewable on the paste as it is on a code repo.

    Its more private for me to share as a paste. I don't really want to tie my lemmy account to my repo identity.

  • Its an early release. Not quite ready to put it on a code repo.

  • I wasn't clear in the post I suppose but this was made to self host with no root on termux.

  • It's hosted as a onion service on the darknet.

    I don't really like the term darknet though...it's really just a free accessable network stack.

    I guess in this context it is underground because it's a decentralized self hosted private service that doesn't need anything but a internet connection. (And Tor)

    Jump

  • I've made a cleaned up version found here

    Improvements

    • prompt for admin password on boot
    • admin panel that allows control for deleting posts (finiky but functional)
    • pages: 15 posts per page now...this greatly reduces load on server.
    • basic sorting functions
    • cleaned up creating posts and new 'torums' so the home page isn't so messy.

  • Simplex does check alot of those boxes... but smp traffic is easily identifiable unless your jumping through the major hoops of establishing a totally anonymous proxy.

    An encoded message on a pastebin through tor. Congratulations, you've entered pedophile/terrorist level security realm.

    Thats to bad being anonymous and secure puts you in that category. It shouldn't!

  • You make good points and I can't provide any documentation. But the documentation won't exist. It would be the closest guarded secret of all time. NSA only holds the upper hand if everyone thinks it's secure. If the secret was out that that they could crack it no one would use it and the advantage is lost.
