It's not exactly a secret that Facebook, Google, Reddit, and others are censoring you and spying on you I presume. Personally, I've got an entire army at Reddit so passionately hating me, they've subscribed to my YouTube videos for 6 years, with the sole purpose of down voting my videos. And of course, anything I post over there, is censored in seconds ...
I got so tired of this, I figured somebody just have to solve it. Since the nature of the web is that who ever owns the box, gets to decide what gets published - I created my own box!
The above MacMini is running out of my living room. You can visit it at home.ainiro.io. I have even created a dummy little app (30 minutes job) that I deployed on to it. You can find my app below.
HOWTO
The process is dead simple.
- Get a MacMini
- Install Docker on it
- Use
docker compose upin the same folder you've got the file below saved as "docker-compose.yaml" - Paste the docker compose file below into ChatGPT and tell it to expose both sites using Cloudflare tunnels
The docker compose file can be found here ...
version: "3.8"
services:

ports:

All in all, the process took me 30 minutes, after which I had a fully functioning (and secure) web server, serving my own apps, out of my own living room. Get the source to Magic below, or read more about it on my website.
