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.

Same things as everyone else except:

My ISP uses CNAT so I can't just open ports or dynamic DNS. My solution is a tiny VPS running nginx as a reverse proxy connecting back to my home server using tailscale. Tailscale was super easy but the reverse proxy was not trivial!

Also host my own IMAP server collecting all my email using getmail. Keeps all my messages on my home machine but much easier to manage than a fully fledged email server.

Special mention to: ntfy, Monica and Pairdrop!
