    • The MIT and Apache licenses are permissive licenses that allow developers to use the licensed code in proprietary projects without having to disclose the source code.

    I understand that some projects needs these kind of license to protect their code, I get it. But this will most of the time shift the project to a closed proprietary/paid service over time… leaving the open source community with a strange feeling of being abused.

    It’s not always the case, but it happened in the past, leaving people to fork the project and strating over.

    • Licensees do not have to distribute the source code alongside with their Derivative Work.

  • It has been a while since I setup my wireguard server, if you host it on a linux system It can be easy as:

    • Install wireguard on your system
    • generate private/public key
    • create a wireguard config file with iptables rules
    • net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 on your server (yeah very important part)
    • open the wireguard UDP port on your router
    • configure clients

    The first time you delve into, it can be Intimidating (at that time I was a total CLI/linux noob) if you are a beginner, but I think you will easily find your way :)

    This tutorial seems rather complete and easy to follow with comments. Also, if you didn’t know, do not blindly copy/past the commands from the web directly in your CLI.

    Till yesterday I had a fix public IP to reach my owncloud via port forwarding from my work laptop and as well my two desktop (outside my network)

    Disable that port forwarding on your router, and install a wireguard server and forward that port only.

    It’s free and works like a charm. It’s simple and elegant, and I can access all my containers from everywhere in the world!

    Dunno your work policies, and what you’re allowed to setup or not, but this is the “best way” I know.
