HOW TO MAKE A NEXTCLOUD PI BOX WORK AS REVERSE PROXY TO YUNOHOST
Background The situation was that I wanted to test out the very cool project Yunohost but I already had Nextcloudpi (another awesome project!) running on my local network. I already had a DDNS service (No-ip) running which was pointing to my Nextcloudpi (“NCP” moving forward) box, and a second DNS service that I set up which pointed to my router…
SETTING UP EMAIL WITH YUNOHOST AND CLOUDFLARE
In a previous blog post I set up a Yunohost (“YH” moving forward) box with a script so that it would report it’s location back to Cloudflare (“CF” moving forward) automatically using a cron job entry on the box and a cool piece of free software called ddns-cloudflare.

Sorry if you followed before June 12 🙁 I really wanted to self-host a kind of ‘family box’ which would allow me to have self-hosted email, Nextcloud, websites, and a few other basic things and not have it running on someone else’s server.

How to Encrypt a Password Around and Merge Multiple PDFs in Ubuntu
For some reason, this is way harder than it should be. I thought I would be able to find a simple ‘pdf stitcher’ software in the Software Centre and just put them in there, arrange them and then export to PDF – with a password. I think this used to be possible with PDF Sam but anyway. This tutorial will…

Converting a Zsun Wifi Card Reader into a Wifi Range Extender
This post is a follow-up post to my original where I successfully flashed OpenWRT onto these Zsun devices. Be sure to see that post first if you haven’t already flashed OpenWRT onto the device. Note that this tutorial should also work for any device upon which you can put OpenWRT (ie any compatible old router you have kicking around). With…
How to Flash OpenWRT onto a Zsun Card
Background EDIT JAN 7, 2019Warning! Before beginning this tutorial, note that I have **fried** two Zsun devices nearly immediately after doing these steps. My theory appears to be correct that as soon as you flash to OpenWRT the default power output is way, way too high and so it starts heating up and frying it. Within about 15 minutes of…
