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.

As an addition to the options the others have given you, you could achieve a really secure setup with a VPN either on your home router, or on a Raspberry pi / VM / Container / Whatever using e.g. PiVPN. You would have to open a port on your router and forward it to the PiVPN. When logging into the pivpn, your device will behave just like you're inside your home network (if you want it to). If you use wireguard and secure the machine with fail2ban you should be good. Wireguard uses UDP only, this means malicious packets coming to your VPN will simply be disregarded. This means the attacker won't see / recognise any open ports at all. I did the same in the past and configured my raspberry pi to check if my IP has changed (global IPv6, b.c. my ISP doesn't hand out native/routable IPv4 adresses) and then update a DNS entry pointing to my pi.
