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.

For folks that are unable to port forward on the local router (eg CGNAT) I made this post on doing it via a VPS. I've scoured the internet and didn't find a complete guide.

another option is to use Cloudflare's tunnels. it's free, I use it all the time. really great.

I've set up some tunnels. Works nice but then the voices came. 'Why would you trust a company like Cloudflare with all your data?' 'Why rely on this one company for all your services?'

Nearly a year into my selfhosting journey and I'm more confused than ever.

Yeah it's a popular choice for various things. But wouldn't it be against TOS using it for p2p and that amount of traffic?

gotta admit I haven't read the ToS, but I didn't encounter any problems. I'm streaming GBs of music via the tunnel and it still works. p2p I didn't try, but I don't really see a reason to?

Thanks for the nice write-up, saving it in case I find myself behind CGNAT in the future.
