There are several good reasons to have your own chat server instance. Some are philosophical like federalization of internet, some practical like keeping your data safe and only for yourself, some ethical like creating secure communication node for those who for any reason can not host their own.

Do you like to backup or share your calendar and contacts, but you don't want to rely on proprietary companies and solutions built into your phones? You don't like to share such information? You don't want to be restricted to specific number of calendars, events or contacts? You want to be sure your provider won't close the service and lock you out from your data? Then it is time to self-host your own CalDAV and CardDAV service!

Many services available for self-hosting provide promised functionality, but let you take care of security and/or authentication. These are the cases when web server comes to the rescue with its ability to create a layer between internet and your service, which will provide additional features like authentication, upgrade to https with valid certificate, DoS prevention using fail2ban, or ability to communicate with service using custom (sub)domain. These features were explained in the previous article.

Web server is one of the most basic services you can self-host. Very simple to install, reasonably simple to configure for basic use. Not that hard to setup for more robust usage, but the hardest thing is to run it in secure way. This is also the reason why this episode is a bit longer than usual.

I have been using several TUI libraries. curses, urwid, Npyscreen and also some non Python ones. The story is always the same. Library is written using catasthrophic api, obsolete paradigms and with no simple way of extending existing code. The code is often very hard to understand. So I went on a quest to find the most understandable one, that will suit my needs.

I started working with linux 17 years ago (in 2003). It was Debian Woody. Kernel version was 2.4.x and everybody was talking about making the big step to 2.6. Linux of that era was complete disaster when it comes to UX, or working "out of the box", but for me it was fun and I also liked that "underground" feeling about it. I didn't understand most of the underlying things, and to be honest, every time I got sick of it, or I wanted to play some games, I just rebooted to Windows XP :)
