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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

have you tried using a vpn, e.g. tailscale?
extremely easy to set up, if you are a selfhost purist, there's headscale as a direct alternative.
only really good at doing stuff in a personal workspace, not really made for exposing to the public internet, still very possible tho
how can I use vpn for it? I have another vps with both ipv4 and 6. But I can't find solution for it.
Great, if you need to SSH into Ipv6 only machine, SSH has -J flag which can be used to specify "jump host" (basically run SSH through SSH)
what if I want to host something on it? I need reverse proxy?
Host a website that needs to be accessible from your own machine or public?
Former situation: Can be solved by setup reverse proxy on the other VPS, or join machines to a VPN server (like tailscale,, Zertoier or Wireguard server)
Later situation: Cloudflare or other CDN, setup reverse proxy on the other VPS.
Less accessible option but available for public: Tor or I2P
