OliveTin is…
Installation
OliveTin can be installed both containerized or not. Read this page to understand why using a container in this case is overcomplicated and not recomented. I do share this opinion, so i will install it on bare metal as a service.
Given that i use Gentoo, let's go with the tar.gz approach. As general rule, see this page, but i don't like that approach and i prefer to keep this kind of stuff confined into /opt, so keep in mind that the following will be slightly different.
First of all, OliveTin will be installed as root so that it can do stuff on your server. I know this is dangarous and whatnot, but i will not expose it directly to the internet rather keep it protected behind the reverse proxy, with HTTPS, and accessible only after a proper SSO layer of authentication. If you prefer, you can disable access from outside your home as well for added security.
