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.

Thanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.

Except when it doesn't. It can have issues around multicast dns.

I've had issues with .local on my Android device. Straight up doesn't work. I had to change to .lan

Same here, just stumbled across this issue yesterday when I tried to restructure my network to use .local

I think it was only added in android 12.

It just means .internal won't be relayed out on the internet, as it will be reserved for local only.

Good luck with that. .local is reserved for mDNS calls, and not every OS treats it the same way. Ask me how I know.

Been working fine for me for twenty years or more in a mixed environment.

I used to use .local but mDNS can get confused, .home has been fine though
