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.

The more I am selfhosting the more ports I do open to my reverse proxy.

I also have a VPN (wireguard) but there are also 3 family members that want to access some services.

Open ports are much easier to handle for them.

How many users do you have and how many ports are open?

My case: 4 users (family)/ 8 reversed proxy ports

How many users and open ports have you?

Wireguard, as only a handful of people need access to the services, I manage it manually - and not with Tailscale or something similar.

With that my server looks nothing like a server from the outside, as I'm exposing nothing - Wireguard doesn't even show up in a port scan

I like this approach, but I'm currently sitting in a foreign hotel who's wifi seems to block WG. Annoying. Keep a TLS-protected reverse proxy for things you might need through obscure networks.
