No docker? :(

Sorry, you may be right; I was just thinking of licensing in general.

There are licenses that allow for free non-commercial/personal use but paid business use.

Start with running something in docker. Probably get containous/whoami running, then portainer, then either traefik or caddy.

Once you’ve got that all working, you can run anything you want easily.

If you’ve got an old machine lying around, you can use that to start.

You don’t need a special client, just a browser. Otherwise, yep!

If you’re carrying your media with you, you could run Jellyfin on the server to provide access to the media to anyone connected to its wifi.

Check out MXRoute. (Specifically the lifetime promo, though I’ve seen it on sale for cheaper.)

Check out Discord’s Webhooks; many applications publish notifications through them. Should be as easy as sending a message to a specific URL, I think.

Opposite experience. Great read. Keep us updated, OP.

Damn, where’d you find that deal?
