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.

Cloudflare is the only service that I trust enough with my data. My domain names are also hosted there, so there's no reason not to make use of Cloudflare's CDN and security vs having to harden my own server all the time, or spinning up instances all over the world for faster access and keeping it all updated at all times. I'm also using CrowdSec as a backup behind Cloudflare.

I'm not behind a CGNAT, and I also have a static IP. However, I think Cloudflare's Zero Trust is good enough since I'm already using their Cloudflare masking. No reason not to do it considering I have access behind most of my services.
