This. Simplest solution. I’ve had mine setup this way for a few years.

Grayjay just let’s you find creators only any platform there are plugins for. If a creator is on twitch and YouTube for example, it’s really just up to you to decide if it’s the same person when looking at the search results.

I have a onlykey. Been using it for probably 5 years now. Not sure why they aren’t more common.

At best it will add whatever the extra hop is and any network congestion. My VPS host is 2200km away. I should find a closer one… but it adds 160ms with some spikes in the 200-300 range. This is round trip 4400km roughly All things considered not too bad. My VPS is a 1vCPU, 1GB ram, 1Gbit unmetered, only as wireguard server. Hope that helps.

I sent you a message They are bit bare bones compared to other host but I haven’t had any issues with them in over a year. On the wireguard side you’re looking for a spoke and hub setup.

This covers it fairly well. https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2020/11/wireguard-hub-and-spoke-config/

Good luck.

I’m in the same boat so I setup a $2.50/mo VPS and that’s my gateway. It took a little bit to get the nftables on vps to work right. I’d recomemned tailscale or similar if you want easy, though I’ve not ever used them myself.

I use shelter from fdroid never had any i ssues. It does what it is suppose to, guess there really isn’t a need for an update.

I’ve used raspberry pi os and shortly arch arm, both work ok. I remeber having an issue with some python packages on arch arm, but thats it. Personally I chose Debian testing for my headless pi4 and have been happy. It’s running Syncthing, Mariadb, a few python scripts to pull data from pi pico-w. FTP server for IP cameras recording, Pydio, Pihole, and Gitea.
