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.

I have Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Overseerr etc running in Docker containers, but have never found a good guide on how to access these (safely) from outside. I resort to connecting to a server running VNC. I've tried nginx but didn't understand it, also tried Cloudflare (ditto). Is there a good, easy to understand guide on how to do this?

You’re probably looking for Tailscale. Simple to use, free plan, extensible and powerful.

In addition to the server and desktop clients, there are mobile apps for both Android and iOS.

Can be used to connect offsite server for backups or hosting but seen as part of your local network. No need for open ports on your home router.

Easy way to access you Plex server when away from home.
