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?

@kylian0087 @hib It used to be but the updated TOS removed the mention of file types and it seems that using media traffic is allowed as per the latest TOS.

Oh that is really nice! Time to make some changes in then!

I was looking into this for Plex the other day. There's some conflicting information on the internet right now. From what I can tell, large non-HTML content still seems to be against their ToS, unless you're an Enterprise customer or serving the files/media with CloudFlare's R2 or Stream services. I hope I'm wrong though, if someone can confirm.

This post from CloudFlare explains the recent changes to their ToS, and the CDN ToS appears to disallow media or large file content.
