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 created my community using Sharkey, and I didn’t want to bother the service maintainers any more than I already have, so I’m reaching out here for help. 😂

How did you get your servers online? I manage my domain through Cloudflare, and I tried setting up a tunnel to access my instance. The server is online, and I can access the admin panel via an IP address, but I get an error when I type in the domain via my browser (Firefox). Cloudflare users, I could really use your help!

EDIT: Nevermind! Everything’s working guys!

What error do you get, for a start?

Browser just says that the domain can’t load, it will also show up as blank webpage. This would happen with other browsers too. As said before, I can access the server’s admin panel just fine, I just want to make sure that everyone else can see my instance too.

Do you have DNS A records pointing to the right place?

`dig whateveryourdomain.tld' and find out.

Then you might have a security group issue with Cloudflare. Gotta check that out and make sure it's open.

The DNS record must point to cloudflare, not the instance IP

I also have my domain with cloudflare, try checking the DNS menu there and create an A level record pointing to your server's public ip address

I will try this when I can and let you know!
