I'm curious on what other forum members are playing around with in terminal.
I just received the recent update from stable, and started to explore a bit with terminal. Currently didn't do much yet, just tested an apache webserver first, now i'm exploring with some docker images.
On a side note, is there any way we can mount usb devices, like an sdr, in terminal currently?
Is it possible to do some sort of port forwarding on the device itself?
I can access things from inside terminal through the private ip assigned (192.168.0.2) on the phone itself, but wondered if i could do some port forwarding on device, so i could access it from a laptop on the same network as the phone?
For the 3 people interested, i've found a somewhat useful 'setup' with terminal , which could perhaps be usefull for some, given some (current) limitations.
U can run your own search engine on device in terminal with docker (compose).
https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker
or
https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search
U could then acces your search engine from any browser http://192.168.0.2:port
Limitations: Terminal doesn't work when connected to a vpn, and even when u disable it from using your vpn with split tunneling, u can't acces it from your browser if it is still routed through a vpn. In this case this setup only works when browser and terminal aren't routed through a vpn.
So not very conveniant for most of us probably.
However, there is a way to accomplish this.
If u use tailscale on your device, with an exit node as vpn configured, u can disable terminal in split tunneling in tailscale. In terminal u can install tailscale and add it to your tailnet. Now u can acces your locally hosted search engine on http://100.x.x.x in any browser, while still using a vpn.
I'll still have to figure out if i can install wireguard and route the search engine's queries through a separate vpn tunnel, instead of using your real public ip, aswell as perhaps in tailscale assign a hostname.
If this could be accomplished, this would mean that your whole device still uses vpn and u would have a privacy respecting locally selfhosted search engine, which uses a separate vpn tunnel (which could change every x minutes, with some scripting and all wg configs of your vpn provider)
Maybe someone who likes to tinker, find some value in this.
I test it just for five min. but because is needed to disconnect from VPN , I don't want to use it for now.
I only need it for ssh acccess to my servers .
