Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

There are many DNS names options. Which one do you use?

You shouldn't use .local for your manually defined local domain names if you plan to ever use mdns/avahi/bonjour/zeroconf.

And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

Hopefully AVM gets to register fritz.box then, because they've been setting up their customers with that as their internal domain for ages...

I actually use .lan for an internal domain but I guess I could use a real domain with the DNS-01 challenge and have real internal certificates. I had not thought about that until just now.
