You don’t need UDP on port 80 forwarded through. HTTP is TCP only.

Nextcloud does all of this.

E2EE chat.

AudioBookshelf ticks all those requirements.

I’m wrong? You’re saying that IP addressing is one of the most complicated things about computers/networking?

There’s a difference between corporate IT and being a computer geek.

I agree that many IT careers are relatively simple support jobs.

They mentioned computer geeks which implies, to me, people who are deep into computers. In that light, if you’re struggling with concepts of IP addressing then the more-complicated facets of computers and networks will preclude you from an engineering role.

I’m not gate-keeping. I’m simply suggesting that IP addressing is one of the less-complicated things when it comes to computer-geekery.

If you’re a computer geek (even a professional one) and struggle with IP addressing, you won’t be having much of a career.

Wrong type of POST.

Yes, you can.

Without going into specifics, you need to share the network of your DB stack with the stack of the client containers.

Matrix. With its bridges you can “wire-in” networks like WhatsApp, Slack, Signal, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, SMS, e-mail, … and have a single app that interacts with them all. You can have a single group chat with users from all those networks participating and no one would be any the wiser.
