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.

Depends on your router. I have an Asus and it has a free ddns option through their domain. I point my Wireguard client at this address and never think of it again. That way, the only port that's open on your router is a Wireguard port and they don't respond to sniffing.
If that's not a possibility, I had a ddns service before that for like $2/month
maybe is specific to my country, but here the majority of network plans have a CGNAT down the line. So we have a private ip at the router and there is no way to reach it, unless you reley the traffic to a third point.
if you want a public ip (even dynamic) you need to pay up
You can grab a static public IP on a VPS for free. That's what I do
works well, though the VPS speed is capped pretty low.
I have a vps for 2€/month. It's not a powerful machine, but easily enough to host wireguard and caddy.
No he doesn’t mean a static IP, he means a publicly routable IP. That’s not something DDNS will help you with.
