Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Sadly the distributions I tried did not open the required port(s) on the built-in firewall (Bazzite and CachyOS, for two).
I would suggest to disable any firewall and check if you can pair.
You are probably correct that the firewall is the culprit. Good suggestion.
I realize disabling the firewall for testing is OK, but I recommend looking up what it takes to open the ports or app in the firewall instead. I've spent my whole career running into and fixing instances where techs disabled firewalls for "testing" and never re-enabled them.
You mean they didn't just turn off the firewall on all client machines and rely entirely on a single firewall at the network gateway? Because that's what I've seen way too much of...
