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.

Self host on an old desktop I turned into a headless Linux server. So no cost unless you factor in wattage but my servers already running a number of other applications. Oh and I guess my domain but I was also using that already.
Ah nice. I have an Unraid server but thus far have all the apps and shit I run accessible via LAN/VPN only. I have pfsense and know how to mess with haproxy a little to reverse proxy things through, but I’m not sure how secure that is or if that opens the attack surface up drastically, so I haven’t really dabbled in allowing external access to my server. Might look into it.
Yeah I use the free plan of cloud flare to make the things I need accessible away from home
That the secure tunnel thing I keep hearing about?
Do you use that for lemmy as well, as in your instance is private?
It’s more than that. My instance is public. Though not currently running. Cloudflare lets you open your private network to the public without exposing your IP or opening ports.
Thanks, I’ll have to educate myself on it. Appreciate your time.
