@stefanlaser Neat! I did a similar analysis when I was helping someone else setup a single user instance over the summer and I was unaware of Honk.

Was there a problem in using a dynadns type setup to get around the static IP issue?

@grayson 🙏

The main issue is that our internet is routed through the apartment complex and I can't modify ports, plus a Vietnamese firewall that calls for a VPN. Port forwarding was an option. But...It's like thinking around two corners for a server that, in the end, was not super vital but a playground. (On top of that, the solar energy harnessed turned out to be unreliable too).
