tup - open source self-hosted tunnel proxy (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/selfhosted

29 comments fedilink hide all child comments

tup proxies services on the local network to a remote gateway, all traffic between the remote server and the service on the local network is sent through a wireguard tunnel

think of tup as an open source and self-hosted alternative to ngrok and cloudflare tunnel

tupd (the server) can be found at: https://drive.proton.me/urls/GEJM1HT0DW#aOop4p7zxaPA

the tup client can be found at: https://drive.proton.me/urls/63SE9PW020#GFzZrprg9wjZ

Any links to the actual sources and not just random proton links?

Github comes up with a file-based build system for tup.

[–] Rooki 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same thought here, why uploading it to proton drive? github isnt evil that they trying to snatch that code or whatever. If you are so cautious then ramp up a gitea or gitlab self hosted instance up.

Those random proton drive links are the sources, and only the sources

[–] ilmagico 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you want people to take you seriously about being open source, you need to have a git repo, like github, gitlab, etc. you can even self host one. Heck, you can even use a different (non git) DVCS, but not just a link to a cloud drive...

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No I don't need to have a git repo, if someone can't take something that's not on a VCS serious it is there problem, not mine

I let the code speak for itself

Do you think no one took Linux serious because Linus uploaded it to a FTP? It is how a lot of code always have been released

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

yeah.... no. red flags galore. Why should anyone trust you if you don't trust version control.

Using Linus as an example is interesting... Who the fuck do you think created git?

If you don't want to use github, that's fine, you have sr.ht, and https://savannah.gnu.org/ as good (and libre free options)

Code smells and maturity are signals people use to determine if they want to use/fork/work on a project. Not having source control is a great way to give yourself a headache over time.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I never said anyone should trust anything, in fact I believe no one should trust me, that is why there are no binaries included, just raw sources to examine and compile yourself

I'm fully aware of that he also created git, over a decade after, and it has nothing to do with the trusting of Linux, in fact Linux huge size and interest was the reason he created git, it was well trusted long before git, so your point is garbage

Garbage in - Garbage Out

I look forward to the next version of your project called tup_new, tup_usethisone, tup_fixed_fixed_fixed

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You obviously didn't even look at the links this time so you won't probably care for the next either

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I did, i saw you had you unlicense in the root directory, that you had md files dotted around which tells me you ARE using a source control system internally, or at least with lots of domain experience of using one.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh jeez, md files are proof that I use source control internally?

No I don't, but you are free to believe that

I've got experience with them ofc, would that be a reason I must use one every time?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

not proof, but a indicator...

Anyway, since your aware of the use of version control I find your anti-versioning stance perplexing, but regardless, you created a open source thing, making the world a better place, thank you for that.

I use rathole for this purpose. Works great, minimal, great performance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Also an great option, I have tried many from https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling but I've never tried rathole

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Providing links like this on a forum sounds like a trap, it's sad that you got so many downvotes for the lack of explanation (as given in comments).

A few more questions remain... Why did you program this? As in, how is this different or better than the alternatives?

There are so many! IMHO that's a problem, as a user I don't know how to decide..!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Absolutely, I would also be skeptic, it's why I made it fully inspectable before any download

It is hard to summarize that exactly, I think it's a more dynamic and configurable and minimal way to manage tunnels and simple proxies for me, in the readmes and the examples it says and shows what it supports more in detail

Believe me I also had the same problem, and still has, but nothing is a one fits all for these things

Thanks for the comment and questions
