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.

I’m lazy and don’t want to remember more than three digits in an IP address or secure all my devices like they’re publicly routable so I’m sticking with IPv4

Same, so I use DNS and a firewall.

DNS

You mean like ~/.ssh/config?

[–] orangeboats 1 points 1 year ago

Setup mDNS and you don't have to remember IP addresses anymore.

ssh [email protected] is thousand times better to memorise.

You could assign short addresses like fd00::1

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The number of short IPv6 addresses is smaller than the number of IPv4 addresses, so that's defeating the entire purpose of IPv6. Sooner or later you have to start using the long addresses.

At home? No! Or use fd00::1:1 or fd00::1:1:1
