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.

Hey all! For the longest time I've had a server that hosts some things (eg Syncthing), but is only available via SSH tunneling.

I've been thinking of self-hosting more things like Nextcloud and Vaultwarden. I can keep my SSH tunneling setup but it might make it difficult to do SSL.

How do you manage the security of having public-facing servers?

Yup, I'm also using Cloudflare tunnels with a private domain. The docs saying what to do on Cloudflare's side weren't that easy to find though. It's too easy to accidentally fall into their docs on Argo Tunnels or the "zero-trust" thing.

Once it's set up though, it's really awesome
