in working on my pod, i decided to get s/stupid/clever/ with the mesh network for my infrastructure. goal is to global load-balance and give say an .au visitor a traffic path close to them while someone in the .us or .nl would have their own.
all that noted, any leads on some decent vps providers in .au, .uk, .jp, an .is ?
@mutefall So about that... This is not something I've designed for at all really.
There are of course things that _can_ be done at the L7 hTTP aching level -- ala CDN(s) / Proxies like Cloudflare, etc, which I run my Pod and my home Infra behind.
If you have ideas around this that don't break some of the "deliberate" design choices, I'm all ears 👌

@prologic curious on your setup here. are you running argo tunnel or are you proxying at cloudflare some other way to your swarm backend(s)?
@mutefall I am running a ddclient on my little Debian box which also hosts all the docker containers. This ddclient updates my ip for homelab.zn80.net. Routing is done with nginx proxy manager. If that is something you are looking for. Domainprovider I use is inwx.net
@carsten greatly appreciated! but i have 2x /29 blocks at this time. this is more of a network routing thought experiment :-)
how do you like inwx as a domain registrar?
@mutefall I Proxy from Cloudflare to my Home Infra aptly called the "Mills DC" 😅 I'm not sure the Argo tunnel is required? Although I _could_ have sworn it's a Cloudflare optimization anyway?

@prologic absolutely reasonable. i go back and forth with my interest in cloudflare. there's a subset of people on the internet who shake their fist cloudflare is a mitm!!! well ffs, what do you expect? they are proxying global traffic for you. this is how things work. if you want to use their service you have to accept some basic perceived risks
the way i see it. if they housed lulzsec for 10+ months without a takedown my concern for my pod and infrastructure is minimal should i choose to use them.
@prologic need a proper name for my dc which is half up. dc01.<noidea>.tld
@mutefall Ooof Im not great with names, mine are just vz1, vz2, vz3 😅

@prologic node01.dc01.happycrunchybits.lol seems legit?
