I want to do a silly thing of hooking up a 386 to the internet as a server, for reasons. Since the physical machine is at my residence, I was thinking that the setup would look like 386 -> SBC that handles HTTP proxying, filtering, etc (probably an RPi 4) -> Tailscale -> Endpoint that NS records points to in some hosted service.

I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations as far as hosting providers, and whether there are alternatives to Tailscale.

Up to the point where I obtain the #Freedos 1.3 USB image and use guestfish to swap out FDAUTO.BAT, bringing the #reedos system right to the C:> prompt.

Getting to this point takes ~2GB of dependencies and because of virtualization, I need to cheat a bit on the docker image creation and rely on the host kernel image release version being available as a linux-image package in Ubuntu. This means that the produced docker image is less portable but there's not a great way around it.

Currently running a virtual machine in QEMU in a docker image which itself is running in a virtualized linux instance on OSX, because I want to compile MS-DOS 4.0 on my laptop for fun.
