Remote SSH Access to the Mirrors You Give Away

@bhepler I have no idea at this point if it works, I just didn’t want to spend cash for this. In no way was I trying to be critical of your write up. Super detailed and if I had a reason to use a cloud provider or had a bunch to administer this would be perfect for me.

My apologies if I came across any other way.

@motdog - It’s all good. There is a way to do this without spending any additional money. You’ll have to modify your residential gateway to forward a port, but it should be possible. It won’t work for university students or people who do not have control over their firewall. I’ll see about writing that up later as an addendum.

@bhepler ok thanks. The first one I am giving away is a college student thats why dataplicity seems like the way to go for me. Hopefully it works

@bhepler Another cloud host option is google, who offers a free tier as well.

my universal caveat – As with all “free” things, TANSTAAFL
