If anyone else runs into this, it's very easy to set up an ssh proxy: ssh -D 8080 user@hostname

Once that connection is set up, point your browser to use localhost:8080 as a socks proxy.

We standardized on debian packages for configuration management and code deploys. The packages are built during CI and then either pushed directly to the desired machine using ssh or published on our own debian package repository.

I've personally used trueskill for n-n team balancing: https://trueskill.org/

I haven't had enough players to actually have enough data / joining players to actually tune those parameters. If I did though I would store joining data and try out different strategies offline using gradient descent / grid search.

I made a small script to securely backup and restore some important files: https://gitlab.com/thexa4/ocrbackup

Data density isn't great though (especially with the added redundancy) but it's enough for things like a password manager file.

You can create your own repo and also do a `git init` in the dropbox folder. Then configure both to point to each other as remotes. (`git remote add dropbox /path/to/dropbox`)

When merging stuff, make a commit if needed on the dropbox repo and merge in your changes. Then pull from your personal repo from the dropbox one.
