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.

You don't need to get it set up with your domain. All you need is the IP address of the machine it's running on; either local or Tailscale address. Just type it into the browser URL bar. I.e. http://192.168.0.1:8080/ is a valid URL.
Now, obviously you'd want to have the ability to do things like type a human readable domain name and have SSL certificates but they're not technically necessary. Until I found the time to set up my reverse proxy, I used my Paperless using a bookmark to the IP address and port.
Pointing your domain at a Tailscale address is pretty simple, you just need to add an A record wherever your domain's DNS zone is configured which points at the IP address (e.g. 100.107.42.69).
