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.

Those are the two options, basically. Both are good. 1 is cleaner but requires more configuration, 2 is much quicker to set up every time you set up a new service. I would say that if your main goal is just the convenience, just go with option 2.
If however you have less technical users of your services, or you’re interested in learning about reverse proxies, or you just want to do it the cleanest way possible, go option 1.
Honestly for me I have to add code to my NixOS configuration to add a service anyways, and adding a reverse proxy alongside is like literally 5 lines of code, so I’m fine with it!
