  • I use a gaming-mode for that. Like this:

    # Create a gaming mode
    mode "gaming" {
        # switch to workspace
        bindsym $mod+1 workspace number $ws1 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+2 workspace number $ws2 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+3 workspace number $ws3 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+4 workspace number $ws4 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+5 workspace number $ws5 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+6 workspace number $ws6 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+7 workspace number $ws7 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+8 workspace number $ws8 ; mode "default"
        bindsym $mod+9 workspace number $ws9 ; mode "default"
    
        # move focused container to workspace
        bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move container to workspace number $ws1
        bindsym $mod+Shift+2 move container to workspace number $ws2
        bindsym $mod+Shift+3 move container to workspace number $ws3
        bindsym $mod+Shift+4 move container to workspace number $ws4
        bindsym $mod+Shift+5 move container to workspace number $ws5
        bindsym $mod+Shift+6 move container to workspace number $ws6
        bindsym $mod+Shift+7 move container to workspace number $ws7
        bindsym $mod+Shift+8 move container to workspace number $ws8
        bindsym $mod+Shift+9 move container to workspace number $ws9
        bindsym $mod+Shift+0 move container to workspace number $ws10
    }
    
    # Enter the gaming mode when a game is started
    for_window [class="^steam_app_"] move to workspace $ws10; workspace $ws10; mode "gaming"
    for_window [class="^hl2_linux"] move to workspace $ws10; workspace $ws10; mode "gaming"
    

    This automatically moves (most) games to workspaces 10 and switches to that workspace. This allows me to use key combinations that would otherwise be used by i3.





  • I think self-hosted cloud is a vague statement, but I think with your network infrastructure you will be limited in what you can do. I think cloudflare tunnel could be a good option for getting the device available online.

    Then the self-hosted part. There are so many things you can look into. You can run everything in Docker, install the software you want directly on your laptop, and much more.

    You’ll likely also need a reverse proxy. Can use nginx proxy manager, traefik, or something similar for that.

    What are your goals with the self-hosted cloud? That would help you in making it easy to find resources and others here to give you advice.
