    IPv6 for self hosters

    So what is IPv6 and why should you care? IPv6 is intended to be the successor of IPv4 and most people know it for the very large address space. However, it has many other benefits as well and is worth learning for self hosting purposes.

    IPv6 features

    Huge address space

    With IPv6, you no long need to be concerned with the limited address space of IPv4. In IPv6 land devices can have many different IPv6 addresses. You can have a different IPv6 address for each service and with the privacy extensions you can have a different IPv6 addresses for each outgoing connection on your computer.

    Simplified subnetting

    In IPv6 land everything is done via prefixes. An IPv6 prefix is simply the first half of the address which is used in routing to send traffic where it needs to go. A prefix is typically assigned to a vlan and the prefix is then delegated to all devices in that vlan. Because each device can have multiple addresses you can have each device get a public address and also a private address. A prefix is a /64 and if you want multiple prefixes you can get something like a /56, /48 or /32. (CIDR notation) To get a prefix from an ISP you use something called DHCPv6-PD. This is a lot like normal DHCP but it requests one or more prefixes from your ISP.

    SLAAC (Stateless address autoconfig)

    With SLAAC, devices pick an address and then verify it isn't duplicated. From there a router will send out a RA (router advertisement) which tells the device what prefix to use. The device then drops the link local prefix and replaces it will a public prefix. The major benefit of this is that you no longer need to keep track of DHCP leases. SLAAC allows networks to self assemble without much setup.

    IPv6 security and privacy

    IPv6 still needs a firewall to be secure. You should not expose things to the internet without properly securing them and anything that is publicly accessible can be compromised. IPv6 also can create major privacy issues since each device has a public IP. SLAAC and the privacy extensions help a lot as they randomize IPs which makes tracking harder. However, devices still share a public prefix so there still could be privacy issues.

    NAT64 to eliminate IPv4

    One of the technologies to help eliminate the need for IPv4 is NAT64. NAT64 works by mapping IPv4 address to IPv6 ones by setting a prefix that fills in the upper space of the address. To delicate this prefix to devices you can either use Pref64 or DHCPv6 opt 108. On the device applications see a working IPv4 address since the operating system translates IPv4 to IPv6 before it goes onto the network. You can absolutely keep using IPv4 and NAT64 is only for those who want to be IPv6 exclusive networks.

    Self hosted Teams alternative?

    I'm looking for something that can do chat, video calling with support for guess links and chats. I need it to work in the browser so I can send people a link to a chat session. Bonus if it has a simple mobile app and calendar integration.

    Anyone know of something that isn't Nextcloud Chat?

    Distributed/replicated storage options

    Is there a lightweight storage solution that makes shared storage easy without needing a NAS? I'm looking for something that isn't necessarily highly available. I'm looking to be able to shift services around without having the complexity and overhead of Ceph. My current option is Unison which isn't ideal but workable.

    Briar - a social messaging application without central servers

    In my opinion this is the best messager for democracy. For receiving messages while offline you can use Briar mailboxes. I would highly recommend this over many other messagers.
