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.

Yep. That's the number one contender. Well right after overriding default DERP's with my own VPS machines. I'll definitely try it out over some weekend.

One of my other concerns with this and other solutions suggested is the reliance on wireguard which can be subject to fingerprinting and censorship. Do you happen to know if it'd be possible to swap out Headscale's implementation of wireguard to amnezia? I'll have to do my homework anyway, but who knows, maybe there are some pitfalls to avoid.

Oh, never heard of amnezia. Never needed actually. But it looks like a good improvement on Wireguard. I will need a separate setup to test it out and currently I'm away from home with no clue when I will return. If I happen to find anything, I will definitely ping you.

In the HN page you linked many people mentioned v2ray. Have you tried that? How good is it?

Nope, haven't actually read the comments, just sent the article as reference to the issue. It does indeed sound quite promising. Think it'd be nice to have even if as just a fallback, so I'll try that too, whenever I get a moment.
