What kind of work do you do?

Perhaps you can rewrite but that would have to include both ways + html source.

Best bet is serve at what path it prefers or can be configured to

I like caddy for flexibility and ease with handle_parh. I believe there was some example on the tailscale website for a tcp caddy proxy.

Some sites cant be rewritten and have to be served on their expected path. Like some http file will refer to a css or something with absolute path.

Also you can get chatgpt or similar help you and ask it to explain whats being done and why. Just be stern and let it know what you’re using for software + versions. They know a lot of old shit too these LLMs

It can be done but I’d advice to rather set up a reverse proxy and funnel that. Then set up your reverse proxy accordingly.

Issue with the funnel is that its reverse proxy is a bit limited in rewriting. So if your service has a native url of 127.0.0.1:8000/service1 then you serve it under /service1

If you have several services that expects to be served at root you might find it difficult to do this way. Some services might have “url/path” option in config for this purpose. In that case you enter the url you want to use for your service and it will behave.

Printing is a bitch no matter the platform and its usually the producers of the printers that fail. Everyone wants to make their own standard or interpret any standard in their own way. Duplex settings? Sometimes easy to find, and sometimes called something else and put in a weird spot of the interface.

Basic printing to usb is fine on Linux. My pi zero hooked to a brother laser has been providing wifi printing for me for the last 5 years. Installed cups and connected the usb and it was rocking

Imo the only ones that should feel bad about it are those upvoting it.

Edit: lemmy is mostly low effort stuff and not interesting discussions. So while this post provides nothing of value that is something the voting system is supposed to handle

We pxe boot into a custom live diskless distro that reboots after use. The network these live in is hardened.

Don’t enable usb on public computers you are not prepared to protect

Shame you lost the privacy screenshots. Whats the numbers behind the apps, and how did you test?
