Yeah, that’s a big limitation.

Oracle is awesome in this one specific way. They suck in all other ways but this is really good.

I use portainer, and when I deploy an image, I write a short bash script for it.

• stop the image if running
• pull the image
• run the image

This lets me easily do updates. I have a script for each image I run, it’s less than a dozen. They’re all from public repositories.

I’ve never seen this before, but it looks straight forward to build. The inside dimensions are 4" x 6". You need a hydraulic press, and plate steel for the box and lid. The lid should fit smoothly in the top, it should all be about 3/4" to 1" thick. You can bolt together all the walls and base. The top should have a boss that meets the hydraulic ram.

Ok, this should be pretty easy then. Just set up an instance in a cloud service provider (Oracle has lots of free stuff for this) and set up wireguard. Establish a VPN connection to your cloud server and port forward from there.

If you do know how to protect that open port then this should be pretty straightforward.
