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.

Have thought of doing this before. I only read halfway through but enough to confirm what I expected - too much work!

I can't open the link right now cause it seems to have gotten the hug of death, but if they didn't mention it check out Caddy. It handles the certificates all automatically. All you have to do is set up the DNS record and then point Caddy at your internal service and it handles the rest.

I'm using traefik and it does everything automatically

I unfortunately agree :( I wanted to use LE, but I really didn't want a bunch of extra infrastructure. I ended up ponying up for a domain cert. It was expensive, but it's really easy for all of my k8s Ingress/IngressRoute/HTTPProxy objects to use it.
