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 had to restore my homelab and took the opportunity to move from docker to rootless podman quadlets. Well almost full rootless, I kept pi-hole and caddy at the root level because I did not want to deal with sysctl.

I have everything running but for now I have to disable my firewall. With docker I was using this script: https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker But I’m having a hard time finding an alternative for podman.

Do you know how any scripts that would magically fix podman and ufw? Would it be a better solution for me to manage iptables manually?

My needs are pretty simple as I do not really care if the ports are visible on my private network, I just want to allow specific IPs on port 80 and 443.

Edit: the issue I’m facing is that I’m allowing some specific IPs to access my network, but when I enable ufw the traffic is blocked. I had the same rules using docker and everything was working fine. I can notice that sometimes the traffic goes through and other time it is blocked. Much like with docker when you don’t use the script and the traffic will be blocked or not depending on what wrote the iptables rules last.

Fedora server has cockpit preinstalled. That's what I use. With cockpit it's very easy to adjust the firewall.

It's not a direct solution to your problem but may show you what else is possible
