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.

The problem with such a situation is that you have no idea of the origin IP address, as all the requests look like they are coming from your VPS. Did you find a way to restore origin IP in your logs?
Yes, it is fairly easy. You just have to forward the http headers. I am using HAProxy, and you can look at my configuration file in the blog. If you're using something like Nginx Proxy, look up how to forward http heards. Some applications, like Nextcloud, require extra steps, but they also provide their own documentation.
Ok for http trafic, but what about SMTP?
All ports are forwarded. If your SMTP is running on, say, port 993, on your local machine,
your-VPS-ip:993will be your SMTP.Sorry for the late answer, but will your SMTP logs show the original IP or the VPS'?
Not sure. Will have to try it out.
