Funkwhale is still actively maintained, the last release was less than a year ago.

i host a funkwhale pod and load content to it off qobuz and deezer.

I think the idea here is that you are running your own discord, and only people with modded clients can use it because its not approved by discord.

is there any sort of way to have the chat logs be public and searchable? the worst thing about discord being a walled garden is that all the info on it can only be accessed by a discord client.

What you describe doesnt really make sense so ill suggest what i think you really want;

You want your vps to be the wireguard server, the local PC connects as a client this “proxies” your connection so torrent swarms see the IP of your vps.

If you want port forwarding it gets a bit complicated because you need to forward the vps port over wireguard, but this is optional so you dont have to worry if you can’t figure it out.

Caddy doesn’t really seem relevant unless you want to have a domain name that forwards to your home network.

I dont ever recall giving portainer my real email.
