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.

Thanks for the steps!
I remember steps 4 & 5 were the ones that made me drop the idea. It involved a lot of configuration.
I will take a look once again, hopefully these have become simple enough.
I set up wireguard vpn and took down all my reverse proxies as it feels more secure and is easier to maintain.
From what I’ve heard tailscale is a step easier as well. So you could vpn into your network rather than accessing the services via URL.
Yep, good point!
And yes Tailscale is super simple and beginner friendly, it literally installs and is ready to use in seconds.
Np, I would say dm me if you have any questions but I dunno if you can message between lemmy and kbin haha
Thanks for the support. :-)
Will surely DM you or create a post here if I am lost during the setup process.
Getting a domain is sounds more scary then it really is. In reality you fork over some small amount of cash to a company (like cloudflare, AWS, etc) and they give you a domain.
For the reverse proxy, 95% of the time it's a basic set of files you drop into the correct folders (or pass into your container if using a containerized solution). The other 5% of the time the final app require something slightly less cut and dry (but generally still understood).
If you need help/want some pointers dm me and I can get you going in the right direction.
Thank you so much, I will keep this in mind when I start tinkering next weekend. In the meantime, I will search for my old Pi 3. :-)
