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.

Currently I have my services accessible through subdomains, with account password protection, my only experiences building websites is Google Pages and Geocities (20 years ago).

All I really need is a single linktree style landing page for my root domain, to hyperlink each of my subdomain services.

Each of my rr web ui has their own account/password setup, but I would like my landing page to also be behind a login form, preferably were I make the user/password manually.

I'm happy to either self-host the page or run it off something free like github pages.

My domain is registered via porkbun, with cloudflare managing the DNS, cloudflared tunnel routing the subdomains to their respective local ports.

I haven't been able to use my root domain via this method, which is why I am open to something like github pages to host the single page securely.

I've been looking up articles and reddit posts for weeks, but I'm not experienced enough in the matter to know where I should be looking or what I should be looking for.

IDK if this is what you're looking for exactly but i've been using Dashy (https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy) and it is perfect for my needs. Maybe it can help you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

2nd for Dashy, have been using for 4-5 months now and have been loving it. I tried out some of the others listed here as well but just didn’t hold up to Dashy.

Thats the one from this thread that I've so far had more luck with, thank you.

Homepage is easy to setup. Since you're using cloudflare tunnels you might want to consider just using cloudflare access for password protection.

I second this. I’m a big fan of homepage. Easy to set up so long as you don’t mind a yaml config file (you can copy and paste the examples if you’re new to the format).

[–] jsnfwlr 4 points 1 year ago

Homepage is great, and extensible too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you, @[email protected] I'll have a look at that

I use a combination of Heimdall and Authelia to list all my services and control access to internal resources. Authelia is great because it lets you put authentication in front of applications that don't have a login, including 2FA options.

I second Heimdall! Best one I've found so far.

What I do is, I have all the public-accessible services listed in the guest account (plex, tautulli, ubooquity etc) , and the private ones in the admin account (sonarr ,radarr, etc)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was going to make two seperate pages, one for admin & general-user, but if it has guest access I may only need one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Heimdall should be enough, but I think authelia is Overkill 🤔 A basic authentification is included in most reverse proxies

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In general the term you're looking for is "self-hosted dashboard".

One I like is called Homarr

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like the aesthetic. Self-hosted dashboard, thanks for the term.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would recommend homepage. Configuration is done via config files.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's a great index, thanks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer because it is dead simple to configure, and I protect it with HTTP auth at the reverse proxy level.

[–] Heastes 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's also https://github.com/jez500/bender which is heavily inspired by homer, but with a web gui to customize the links rather than having to edit the config.yml

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That sounds convenient.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this. Lazy me may even prefer it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Initially I used Heimdall, but I think Organizr is a better fit for my uses.

To add to my own post, I came across Cosmos which I will also be testing on top of all of the suggestions so far.

One thing I haven't determined with Cosmos yet, is how this would impact friends/family access.
