Enhancing My Job Search with a Custom Mesh Network

 To streamline and organize my job search efforts, I recently set up a mesh network connecting my laptop to a Raspberry Pi running Portainer.io. This setup allows me to manage applications and files remotely, making my search process more efficient.

A highlight of this project was configuring SSH access. I can now connect to the Raspberry Pi securely and remotely.

Setting up the mesh network involved several technical steps, especially on the Raspberry Pi side. I edited the NordVPN Meshnet service to enable startup functionality using the following command:

bash
sudo systemctl edit --force --full nordvpn-meshnet.service

Additionally, I used NordVPN’s token system to authenticate the Raspberry Pi.

With Portainer.io running on the Raspberry Pi, I can install and manage applications and access files conveniently through a local URL.

This accomplishment marks an important milestone in leveraging technology for career advancement. It’s exciting to use these tools to stay organized and focused on my goals.
