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.

all the containers change IP addresses frequently. For home assistant a static IP address of the proxy manager is mandatory in order to reach it. For jellyfin it is useful to see which device accesses jellyfin. If the IP always changes, it doesn't work properly.

How do I fix a container IP with podman compose (or docker)

Those are just the basic ones too, when macvlan, macvtap, ipvlan gets involved it gets even crazier. You can directly attach containers to the network such that your router assigns it an IP via DHCP like it's just another device plugged on your network.

You can also share a network namespace with multiple containers, usually kubernetes/podman pods to enable for sidecar containers like Filebeat, Consul, Envoy, etcd and so on.

If you use rootless containers, it'll use slirp4netns to emulate the network entirely in userspace.

In the cloud you usually end up with your pods directly attached to your VPC as well, like AWS Fargate serverless offerings.
